'Round About Midnight is a 1957 album by the Miles Davis Quintet. Not well received upon its release, it has since become a classic of the hard bop genre. Here's the original: londonjazzcollector.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/miles-dav... and, for your listening pleasure, here's the entire album, thanks to YouTube: youtu.be/TvEpTxd3lsU?list=PL34C6B273E712F66B

My senior yearbook photo from 1922, as I was about to obtain my Bachelor's Degree at ol' Miskatonic. I would spend part of my first post-graduate degree year in a work-study program digging in the lost ruins of Mu, where we lost several members of the group to an otherworldly fungal infection. They returned with us, however, and got jobs in town with the postal service, while I began student teaching and coaching the football team.

Interestingly, this picture looks very similar to that of another graduate, Edward Alexander "Aleister" Crowley, who was studying at Cambridge in the 1890's, which you can see here: i.pinimg.com/originals/59/01/ae/5901aec3c8f597687a0c7b7b8...

Most of the time, this - 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - is my favorite film... only Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb ever comes close!

This poster is by Robert McCall, known (aside from his 2001 posters) for his inspirational NASA paintings and some other film work, notably for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Here's the original poster: i.warosu.org/data/fa/img/0064/52/1373091870106.jpg

Also, this pic is HUGE, while my face is SMALL. If you want to prove to yourself that I did, indeed, Photoshop this, you'll have to look at the larger sizes!

My favorite film of all time is 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it is due to the genius of Stanley Kubrick, not Arthur C. Clarke. I'm not much of a fan of his writing, really, but as a fan of the film I had to read all of the sequels. This is the Michael Whelan painting for the cover of the third book (of four) in the series, 2061: Odyssey Three (1987). Despite the book, I really liked this picture.

I'm not really that old, but this looks more like the St. Louis I remember than the one you can visit now. I've reached the age (53) where this photo from c. 1914 is actually closer to my birth than the present day is!

This is the northwest corner of 8th and Pine in St. Louis. The ornate storefronts and colorful canopies are gone now, and in their place are bland, modern office buildings and a metro entrance. Only the cars and the straw hats look unfamiliar.
