ABOUT ME...
 
Rapidly approaching 50-year-old husband,  father, and Goonie movie fanatic.  Still banging my head to 80s hair metal, but everything hurts more now after a concert. Love exploring the back roads looking for odd roadside attractions.  And finally an aspiring terrible tennis, pickleball, and racquetball player.

Father Augustus Tolton (1854–1897) was the first publicly recognized Black Catholic priest in the United States. Born into slavery in Missouri, he and his family escaped during the Civil War. Despite facing racial barriers, Tolton was ordained in Rome in 1886 and served African American communities in Quincy, Illinois, and Chicago. He founded St. Monica's Church in Chicago before dying unexpectedly of heatstroke at age 43. Father Tolton is now buried at St. Peter's Cemetery in Quincy, Illinois, where his life and legacy continue to inspire. Would you like a slightly longer or alternate version too?

"I will never betray my goon dock friends. We will stick together until the whole world ends. Through heaven and hell, and nuclear war. Good pals like us, will stick like tar. In the city, or the country, or the forest, or the boonies. I am proudly declared a fellow Goonie."

Toaster Tree - August 2024... seriously... just toasters hanging from a tree

American artist and a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. Warhol's career spanned multiple mediums, including painting, drawing, printmaking, filmmaking, and photography. He became renowned for his unique approach to art, which blended commercialism, celebrity culture, and mass production. Warhol began his career as a commercial illustrator in the 1950s, creating whimsical and imaginative drawings for various publications. He gained widespread recognition in the 1960s with his groundbreaking and controversial artworks that challenged traditional notions of art and consumer culture. One of Warhol's most famous works is the series of Campbell's Soup Cans (1962), where he depicted 32 soup cans in a grid, each can representing a different flavor. This work, along with others like "Marilyn Diptych" (1962) and "Eight Elvises" (1963), exemplified his fascination with celebrity and the repetition of familiar images. The Factory, Warhol's famous studio in New York City, became a hub for artists, musicians, actors, and intellectuals. It was a space where creativity and collaboration flourished, and Warhol produced some of his most significant works during this time. Beyond visual art, Warhol ventured into filmmaking with avant-garde films like "Chelsea Girls" (1966) and "The Velvet Underground and Nico" (1966). His foray into the world of music and celebrity further solidified his status as a cultural icon. Warhol's influence extended beyond the art world; he became a symbol of the interconnectedness of art, commerce, and celebrity. His philosophy that "everyone will be famous for 15 minutes" reflected the changing nature of fame and media in the 20th century. Andy Warhol passed away on February 22, 1987, but his impact on contemporary art and culture endures. The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh stands as a testament to his legacy, showcasing the breadth and depth of his contributions to the art world.
