Scott,

Do you think that is why his Father & Mother moved away from him and
left him in NYC? He was to much to take?
His Dad left him to the ASA. More people to help. Well, he does have his
Imaginary Friends but they aren't that he thinks are helping him.

He is just a lonely Soul with make believe friends, with make believe
deeds and keeps his own score, his own make believe way.

He has a telescope (so he claims) so that he can Howl at the Moon. He
calls that a Victory (with his score keeping)

A Soul to be sad for. I won't ridicule him any more. He's had enough.
He's much to easy to put down. He creates the ammo to be used against
himself.

Time to let up for me. However, he is yours ASA; Have fun!!!

Beach Bum/Ol Thom

I've always imagined Bubbles to be some sordid, maligned middle-age man with
arrested maturity, sitting alone in his tiny flat in Flatbush, glued to his
computer, fabricating an existence that he believes will impress others,
because it certainly would impress him. Periodic visits to his
successfully-employed and married sister in Manhattan enable him to take
shots of his nephew (Thomas) and his sister (Suzy). Forays to the local
marina allow him the opportunity to shoot his favorite boat, the Bendy 35s5,
that is owned by someone he doesn't know but is seldom on the boat, enabling
Bubbles to take numerous shots of it. His Kodak 1.3 megapixel digital
camera that he bought at Goodwill for $10 enables him to "verify" his
imaginary existence. His '79 Dodge Dart is a far cry from his purported
Subaru STI or even his wishfully-thought Kia Sedona. His 13" B&W tv is
nothing at all like his sister's front projection tv that she had to
purchase when her Bubbles got drunk and fell into the screen of her
rear-projection unit. And his only resource is an old, stolen library book
on sailing, which enables him to speak halfway coherently on sailing topics.

You are right to pity him and abstain from ridiculing him further. He
deserves only our sympathy . . .

. . . and some intensive psychotherapy.
