Agana Bay Mystery; the little island, gray haired lady

Does any one remember the little island in Agana Bay, just inside of the reef, on the Tamuning side? The tale went that there was an old lady with gray hair that lived on that little island.

Recent Carlson Pics

Left to right- Clay, Patty Jo, Me, Linh and Chovin. We've been eating at PIC for Thanksgiving for the last few years. For those that haven't been here for awhile, PIC is where the old Contenental Hotel was. We go play at PIC once in awhile. They have quite a few things to do there.

This was at Kings restaurant today. Linh was so cold she had to cover up with a napkin. I hope she doesn't check the blog. She won't be happy to see it online but I thought it was cute.

what was that game called?

at the bus stop, in the morning. (red rover, red rover, won't u come over). had to try to break through a line of kids on the the other side. If u got through, u could take one back, If they caught u, you were part of their team.....LOL so funny how this stuff comes back. It was our version of survivor until the bus got there.

Time to loosen it up a bit.....

Feeling a little uptight bloggers? Maybe this will help.

Cindy...Got the goods!

Thanks, got the seeds to make red rice! I am out of town now, but as soon as I get home I will brew up the red rice. Thank you so, so much! This means the world to me! You can have my first born and my 401K!

Don't take myself too seriously

Giving me all kinds of hand gyrations and the bird, I chased him. I was pissed. Stopping behind him at a red light waited for him to give me atanbaba (dirtylook) in the rear veiw mirror.
By this time I saw the humour, waved and smiled. His shoulders shook with laughter and he waved back.

Fire In The Hole!

I've been wanting to tell this story for a while. One of the dumbest things (among a long list) I have ever done.
One Boring summer evening in deans circle, Deanboy and I were, bored. As we walked around the block, we stopped at the drainage grate at the corner of Changs, across from Calbs. One of us had a pack of matches, and decided to try to build a fire at the bottom of the drainage catch basin. We collected sticks, paper and Iron wood needles for the burn, and piled them up at the bottom. We tossed match after match down the hole, but couldn't get it to burn. We lit paper, tossed it down, no luck. Exhausted I had an idea. Deanboy and i went behind my house. picked up a gallon (glass A&W rootbeer ) jug of gasoline, and poured down the hole. Surely this would get this fire to burn. We lit a match and threw it down the hole, no luck. so we lit paper, threw it down, no luck. try after try, no fire. I lit the whole pack of matches, tossed it down, no fire. We were perplexed.
As we sat on the curb next to the hole, saddened, bored and wondering what to do next.
BOOOOM! The ground shook, the grate lifted up as a flame shot 10 feet in the air. We went running.
The glass jug caught fire and was rolling down the street towards the Shooks driveway.
scared to death I ran after it . Then "Haw Haw I'm going to tell Dad Ha Ha" came from the bushes across the street. My bro Chris was there watching us the whole time.
How stupid we were. We were lucky we didn't have our faces over that grate when it went off. Deanboy, sorry for putting you in such danger, however as you all remember so well, Boring nights at Deans Circle brought out the best...stupid, in all of us.
Chris never told dad...I don't think.

Net Lingo

Ok, I have to admit too, I am unfamiliar with all of the text lol, rft, lbt ru, abcdefg.
So for all of you like me, go to www.netlingo.com. Its a good site to figure out what some are saying. Better yet,. Just write words like normal people. Some of us are still trying to fugure out how to use a computer. lol

happy thanksgiving gang

I'm tryin to remind myself (and sometimes it aint easy), of all the things I should be thankful for... great childhood. wonderful parents, who loved me unconditionly. A sister and a brother, who always loved me, but may not always liked me. and four beautiful sons. and lest I forget my boyfriend Kurtis who helped me care for mom and dad over the last four years. oh and can't forget my baby kitty Lambchop, who loved mom and still keeps my spirits up when I come home.

The Sickler Family

Amy, thank you for the pictures, this is the closest we've been to seeing your family again in a very long time. Please keep them coming, I'll keep on posting. And Wendy, I know that you read the blog, please send your email address so you can join us. When I found out that you knew about the blog long before Amy and Nancy, I was totally shocked and deeply hurt that you wouldn't honor us with your presence. Here we are on the first ever...Dean's Circle blog... wondering where Wendy is. Its not too late girl....my heart is aching, still waiting for you Wendy, ...still waiting... : )

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

I won't be having turkey for Thanksgiving Day as the Tahitians have no ties into that holiday. I'll be eating fried fish though.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I'm off to Tahiti this coming Tuesday to ride my new 6'5" Quad Bat-Tail Stretch Epoxy FF.

Check out my latest quiver!

Alice Sparks

Took my son Ian to his bowling thing today. Little girl there, looks so much like you, when you were little. kinda cool.

A funeral for a friend

My brother Ric and his wife Teresa lost a close friend Darrell. He was a Police officer in New York. He was killed in a traffic accident. We should remember the others involved and injured in the accident. Ric and Teresa are helping with the funeral.

For the sake of keeping this on an up note, as did Pat, Cindy, and Robert, I will tell a funny story of Ric when we were younger.

Ric once told me, "If you want to inpress the ladies, just put a sock down your pants".
I just wish he had told me to put it in the front, not the back of my pants.

Okay, I made it up!

And the winner is...

Who's Tat #1 This was kind of a trick question. Both the boob and tattoo belong to my other half Ylana. The irony is this is the same panther design my Dad had on his arm. Cindy and Pat lose points on this one.

Who's Tat #2 This would be me. Cindy gets bonus points for the "big bicep" remark.

Who's Tat #3 Based on some of your comments, it would appear Doug has the sexiest ankles on the blog. Cindy hit this one out of the park.

Joe "Coco Joe" Hipolito has been found.

Everyone: email Joe "Coco Joe" Hipolito. His email: mr.kokomo@yahoo.com

I just got a very surprising email this morning and I could not wait to share it with everyone here.

Mushrooms on Guam

I've noticed a set of mushrooms growing out of wood in front of my door. They start growing throughout the night and then shriver to nothing when the sun rises. These fungi live for 12 hours and everynight I see new ones. I think we're lucky to have more time than that. Just an opinion:)

This one's for you Nancy

When I spoke with her the other night, one of the first things Nancy asked me was if I had any word from or pictures of Clay. She said something like, "I used to be so in love with that sweet, hot, sexy man". Forgive me Nancy if I mis-quoted you, but since you asked, I went back through the blog and consolidated all the Clayton Dean shots for you. I'm not positive, but I think he even posted a tight end shot of himself...for all you girls who were madly in love with him back in those teeny-bopper days. C'mon Clay, I know you have some more, the girls are just too shy to ask.

Welcome Amy

I see we have a new face on here today. Amy, I can't tell you how great it is to finally get one of you Sicklers onboard. Your family is such a big part of the Circle's history that this blog seemed empty without you. I look forward to hearing about your life's journey.

Does anyone know Brian Leon Guerrero or Loretto Vitor

My boss at Philips also grew up on Guam, but on the other side of the island. He went to Dededo HS.
