Celebrated my 52nd season this year. Many many things to give thanks for. Physically still good on many fronts, I must say. Last five years' pictorial report card below. Not to brag about but grateful for the simple highs, hiccups, hikes in life. Thank God for that.

Received a deck of 52 gambling cards as a birthday gift. In each card was a pasted feedback or assessment of me as a father by my 4 children. Basically a report card. Some are telling ..... as though you have been exposed as a collector of hotel shampoos and soaps. Anyway in the annals of my history, I am going to leave it verbatim. Still love them a million.
