the Family Room

the Kratavil Clan...
breaking the tradition of only child's, my father began his
own tradition...

Nathaniel David Carte...
my 1st's 2nd son...met him when he was only
3 months old...lost contact when the divorce became final and she
moved away...biology has nothing to do with the connection between a
"real" father and son...someday our paths will merge again

my sister, Debi and her husband Bob...
ok, someday I just may end up in Texas, so
stop bugging me about it...

EQ...
while working in Long Beach for a cable
contractor, I was eating some thai take-out while I was
waiting for the others to return to the apartment (I was without
a key)...I noticed a group of kids doing something across
the parking lot...as I focused more closely, I could see that
they were tossing a kitten in the air and then chasing it
once it landed...repeating this torment...the kitten found
shelter under a car...the kids ran off...while I was searching
under the car, the kids returned with another kitten...before
they could start their evilness, I shouted and they dropped
the second victim and ran...I was unable to locate the first
kitten, but was able to retrieve the second one...he hates
kids...EQ is term given a piece of cable equipment that goes
into a cable tv amplifier...his first toy...

kitte beau witte...
don't even know if I'm spelling her name
right...someone else's cat that bounced around house to house while her
owner was looking for a permanent residence...the cat found one, don't know
about her owner though...is this a cat or is this a dog...she barks at the
door...strange kitty...

shitty kitty...
sitting on my doorstep, a stray kitten from the
old lady next door (you know the one with the million cats)...I went to the store
and when I returned there she sat waiting for the opportunity...the door opened
and in she came...she had a terrible time adjusting to a litter box, but she did...
but she also will forever be named for her early beginnings as an indoor cat...such
a strange mix of siamese and calico...very strange

my cousins and me in 1978
