Dad would have been 92 today.

Every year on his birthday, I find a quiet place where I can reflect a little/where I can spend a few minutes alone with him. Some funny moments recalled, a few tears for my loss, and a whole pile of gratitude for his guidance, wisdom and support.

then, I take a single .40 caliber cartridge from a box of shells that he reloaded; and I read the same little handwritten note he wrote to me about them. load it into my Glock and fire a Birthday Salute in his honor.

Someday, I hope to be half the Man he was.

Coincidentally, the 28th is also the birthday for my mom. She would have been 114 today. Still miss her a bunch too.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Nice, white marlin, your did your father proud.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.
