As you can imagine, I'm really sorry that I can't be there to join you in person for my Birthday - April 29th. I would've been 71. My brother would have sent me some stupid old man card and I would finally be retired. That would have given me more time to work in the yard and take a walk or a jog.

Heck - the whole family could go out for a dinner and a few brews...

But - as the bumper sticker in Forest Gump said. S**t happens...

I know you all miss my postings... so let me give you a quick update on the good things that have been happening with my family. I'm really proud of them. First of all Nancy is about to become a nurse. After many long long hours of studying and classes and all that stuff. She has accomplished what she set out to do. (Like anyone was going to stop her!!).

Gillian has taken up studying at Plattsburgh in NY AND she is doing quite well. Good Grades and all that stuff.

Jeremy is studying Cisco Networking... I keep telling him - it's just ones and zeroes...!

Adam - Leah and the grand-kids are still doing well... They just posted some great pictures on Facebook from their trip to Buttermilk Falls State Park.

That's it for now. Happy Birthday to me! --> It is what it is!
