Today I turn 44. I’m pretty sure this is the age when a lot of guys start going through their mid-life crises. I already went through mine when I was in my early 20s, so I should be set. I’m still waiting for the day when I realize what I want to be when I […]
Hint: Not me.
My daughter is 20 now.

Keeping with the tradition of me posting birthday wishes late, my oldest child Jaymie turned 27 this week. That makes me feel older than all the aches, pains and gray hairs combined. But that’s a good “old” feeling. She has always had the uncanny ability to make me feel old for no reason. Once I […]
July 19 is the birthday of my Aunt Cheryl. She wasn’t at home when I called her, but luckily we live in the Future Age of Technological Wonders and I was able to reach her on her cell phone. Our conversation was very quick, less than a minute quick, but the high points were “Happy […]
