The Big 85!

The Big 85!

Congratulations to my Dad, who hit the Big 85 today. No, that's not a golf score. It is a birthday. We celebrated with very nice dinner in Manhattan. Dad, Mom, Guest Blogger and me.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Rich In Many Ways

Rich In Many Ways

I am rich in many ways. Rich, fortunate, satisfied, happy. Friends, family, loved ones are abundant. For the most part, I have my health, as do those around me. I do not lack for material things, and over the years have accumulated various items which bring me joy.

I enjoy much love, as in a loving relationship, a family, and numerous close friendships. A good many of these friendships stood by me during the toughest of times.

Pants On Fire

PANTS ON FIRE

Howard D., the supposed front-runner among the gaggle of nine campaigners for the Democratic Presidential nomination, needs to carry a fire extinguisher. This would be for the fire that keeps breaking out in his pants.

Flip-flopping on position is one thing. And not always such a bad thing, either. There are times to rethink where one stands, for any variety of reasons. Time, personal experience, perspective over the long run.

Quick Notes / Home From The Road

Quick Notes / Home From The Road

Took a short fun trip. Nice getaway. Guest Blogger and I hit the road in a rental car, and left our worries behind.

Visited friends in VA just outside of D.C. and then just outside of Greensboro, NC.

Then I went with the kids to see John Mayer and The Counting Crows. More on that show later, as in another entry another time.
