Andy Anderson

 


Andy Anderson


     This one is from Creason family lore and was repeated for many decades at Christmastime.  It was when we lived at 9230 Annetta and my grandma was still alive but frail.  Mike McGraw was there as a newlwed to Cheryl having fun with his Navy buddy Slick. My guess is it was 1966 or 1967. The tree was an atrocity (we will visit that part later) but the very early Xmas eve celebration was underway with lots of packages being opened and holiday spirit consumed. To carry the empty boxes and plentiful wrapping out to the trash the front door was standing wide open. It was a Merry Xmas! Suddenly, we all were startled by a complete stranger standing in the middle of the front room who bellowed "MERRY CHRISTMAS, I'M ANDY ANDERSON!!!  Andy was thoroughly sozzled but fully into the spirit of the night. However, BC directed his strong son Stephen and son-in-law Mike to escort Mr. Anderson back out to his automobile, still running in front of the house. To show his deep involvement in Christmas spirits Andy pulled forward, finding himself behind a parked car, whereupon he honked at the empty car to move out of his way. To this day we toast Andy Anderson at Creason Christmas eve celebrations and have done so at a few Sheehy Christmas fetes on Francis.

Paul Knowlton's White Lotus

 Paul Knowlton's White Lotus \      It is ironic that this post is titled something that means nothing to the protagonist. Paul, Zeke, "the Prince," "Senor Suerte" or the Snail (I never called him that.) My old pal just created a memorable vacation on the island of Oahu where the mean old world was a far off nightmare and the closest thing to stress was choosing which kind of massage you would request. Paul was the second friend in my life and we grew up about a block away from each other. We were Catholic boys and loved sports that created a bond lasting seventy years. This connection continued from grammar school to High School, to Community College to University. We were roomates from 1968 to 1972 and our families had a solid respect for one another. Paul grew up in a family of nine kids at a tract house in South Gate when the common man lived the American dream. Then again with 11 mouths to feed the American dream can only stretch so far. It is a cliche but ...

alright mother

  alright mother- “You can find poetry in your everyday life, your memory, in what people say on the bus, in the news, or just what’s in your heart.” —Carol Ann Duffy  Greg was always delighted by a story told by his mother in law about a "sortie" dinner party attended by a Doctor "Putty" Putnam who had been forced to attend an opera by his wife. When asked by a clueless guest if he enjoyed the opera, his response was  "fuck you!" When I was visiting Bear Cove and sitting next to the matriarch Greg goaded her into telling the tale. But a rum n' coke had loosened "Minnie's" tongue and when she got to Putty's answer she blurted a rather hard FUCK YOU!  Roy, hearing his bride curse thusly said across the table "Alright mother!"

Athletic Club Flower shop

  Athletic Club Flower shop      This phrase is actually the telephone greeting at Greg's uncle Johnny Tassano's flower shop at 808 W. 8th street near Flower street in downtown L.A. Greg loved the place and culled many a story and line from his experiences at a place he worked and visited fondly. Even when he wasn't employed he drove around with cousin Kent (Kevin Smith) and they had a ball observing the absurdities of modern living in the Southland. The phone was answered by different employees and each had a unique turn of "Athletic Club...flowershopppp" There was owner John Tassano, right-hand man Ronald P. Lord, "Speed," a delivery man, and Carmen who cut flowers and told odd anecdotes such as the origin of pizza. I believe Greg and Kevin could go on for weeks about the people they met on their deliveries as they set forth across the city of the angels to spread floral joy. This might include places to eat, fascinating neighborhoods, cemeteries, lone...
