When I was a wee lad in Jamaica, we went to a fabulous Guy Fawkes day bonfire. It must have been 60 feet high!

It looks like a blend between Samhain, All Saints, and All Souls. The masks are from the Celtic Samhain celebration of the harvest. One of my neighbors had a blow up cat with a moving head in the cemetery in his front yard. Why?

It was Dorothy’s Birthday this week. All our love to you Mum!

Thanks to the intervention of the Brasilian government in Los Angeles by cell phone, Sau Paulo’s oldest golf club let us through the double security gates for a tour of the facilities!

Tamas Janovitz, one of the club’s six professional’s, was born in Hungary and raised in Germany, where he keeps his P.G.A. membership. In the photo we are standing in front of the spot where a very famous old tree stood for many years. It fell down recently. The club has planted a new one. The Sao Paulo Golf Club was founded by the same British, American and local businessmen who made the Brazilian coffee industry the largest on earth in the early 1900’s. Their golf club is still there.

After an amazingly mild summer, and autumn rain from the heavens, my club’s junior golf fundraiser golf tournament was played on October 25 at Rancho Park golf course in Los Angeles. It usually gets a bit brown by October. Lush was the word for the 4th Annual Von Elm. Lovely!
