August 18 2010 We’re approaching an era of stability in our lives. There is one roof and only one city. We’re taking the same trips and creating memories together. I found my tripod last week in a garage housing decades-worth of belongings I’ve left behind and mostly forgotten. This was the first time I’d used it [...] August 17 2010 Rochelle (far right) is back home in the Bay after living in South Africa for six months, and then briefly hanging in Los Angeles. Revaz and Laura (middle) are both in the Bay on their way to Portland. Laura will then leave to Kenya for a year where she’ll be based with human [...] August 15 2010 My nephew is around 10-years-old. The shirt is closer to 30-years-old. Homeboy is bringing it back. August 14 2010 There are a few things you must do in this family before a certain age. You must learn to cheer for a certain sports team. You must visit Las Vegas, NV before your first birthday. And you’re obligated to learn how to play the family’s game: poker. Jacob, age 4, just got started [...] August 9 2010 He’s recently lured me to the bright lights of a bowling alley. Champions are made on Monday nights. August 7 2010 He just likes to make sure we’re alright. August 5 2010 The interior needs lots of work, but you couldn’t tell from the polished exterior. The Chevrolet DeLuxe is Pancho‘s new ride. August 2 2010 Defari will tell you all about it. July 31 2010 Manny: “I decided to start my own band.” July 28 2010 Oso moved out to DF last month just in time to see us leave. It’s natural to wonder what Mexico City would have been like with my fiancee and a really good friend living in the city. It took a visit from David to enlighten my coffee ordering. Before him, it was puro [...] June 20 2010 I can’t remember the last time I spent Father’s Day with my pops. After a full weekend of recordings, this is the only shot I got for the day. At least my heart is in the right place. June 7 2010 July 1 2010 will be an amazing day. June 6 2010 We’ll be enjoying a much-anticipated, full reunion the next time we see each other. One year of long distance is almost over. June 5 2010 The green slopes in the background were once a giant slip and slide for Brenda and I when we were kids. It wasn’t too long ago that we were filling up giant water balloons and flooding her kitchen. My cousin, in her wedding dress, is only two weeks younger than me. Our fathers [...] June 4 2010 We’re growing up too damn fast. Above, my tio Cesar with my cousin Brenda at her wedding rehearsal. May 8 2010 I’m breaking the rules by showcasing a photo I didn’t take, but it was my birthday and I was busy having a blast. To salute you – amigos, compadres, comadres, familia – I’ve included a slideshow of the day. Most of these photos were taken by a drunken happy man filled with tinga [...] April 26 2010 This is the umpteenth time I’m leaving Anna this year, so I’m heading to New York City with very little enthusiasm. It didn’t help that I took a stroll to the quesadilla lady before my trip. I ordered a Tlacoyo de frijoles con nopales y queso. Street food in New York City will [...] April 18 2010 Yesterday I told him to pay more attention to his older sister. He nodded and smiled, which completely caught me off-guard. I expected a pout and maybe a frown. Then he asked why I take so many pictures. “So I can remember.” “Remember what?” March 21 2010 I was scheduled to leave before my father’s birthday on March 23, 2010, so my mom decided to hold the De La Cruz bowling tournament – a tournament played five times a year for every De La Cruz patriarch – on the Sunday before my Monday departure. My dad, above, has won the [...] March 14 2010 I haven’t posted a photo in the last three days because it’s my final week in Los Angeles before I head out to Fresno, and family time has taken over blogging time. Above, the aftermath of my cousin Brenda’s bridal shower. She marries in June and the ladies of the De La [...] |
