June is a time of celebration at Casa
Chatterbox. Thursday would have been my dad’s 88th birthday, Friday
was our son’s birthday, and yesterday Mrs. Chatterbox and I celebrated our
fortieth wedding anniversary. Read about it (here).

CJ's Birthday
Today is our son CJ’s thirty-fourth birthday. I don’t feel old enough
to have a son that age, but the wrinkled face in the mirror assures me
it’s true. Mrs. C. and I were twenty-eight and had already been married
six years when we had our one and only child. Since we’ve known each
other since high school it isn’t inconceivable that we could have a son
in his forties. I shiver at the thought. Read about CJ (here).

Try This At Home
The Grande Odalisque, an odalisque being a harem girl, was painted in 1814 by a Frenchman by

with distant cultures. They coined the term Orientalism, even though Grande
Odalisque doesn’t resemble anyone who ever stepped out
of the Orient. Check her out (here).
