Meaghan made a weekend trek to Shelf Road and didn't invite me.
My feelings are not hurt. Not even a little. Nope.
Dammit, why did she ditch me???

Today my Dad's 91st birthday falls on Thanksgiving…and the synchronicity does not go unnoticed by me. My Dad was/is part of the Greatest Generation. He served his country well after graduation from the Naval Academy. He lost his beloved younger brother in WWII. He buried his 27 year old wife and was left with 3 children under the age of 7. My two older brothers and I were raised by him when the word "Single Parent" didn't really exist. Barely 15 years after losing our Mom he buried my oldest brother, a Vietnam casualty. He never remarried until we had all graduated from high school. When I asked him "why", he said he saw our Mom's face when he looked at each of us. When we were little he would take us fishing. I hated the slimy feel of putting the worm on the hook. He or my brothers would bait my hook. Finally one day he said if I wanted to go fishing I needed to bait my own hook. That metaphor has stuck with me for my whole life as guidance for being independent and the importance of making our own way.
Last year after a colonoscopy the doctor said to him "everything is fine, see you in 10 years". Ya know, I think it could happen….even though he's 3000 miles away I just can't conceive of knowing he isn't on the other end of a phone call.

He's as tough as they come, but he is 91 years old and he's been hospitalized twice in the last two weeks with pneumonia. Time to head home to Lake Erie.

Our baby just graduated from the University of Advancing Technology with a BA in Game Art and Animation. We are very proud of her. She also won the portfolio excellence award.
It is exciting and sad to see our final little bird fly out of the nest. Daddy had to feather it with $400 worth of groceries before I could get him onto that plane to go home.

About to cool off in the Mediterranean.
Seeing my son having a wonderful time gives me unbelievable joy. It only seems like yesterday I bought his first little toddler shortie wet suit at O'neills Surf Shop. Too fast. Goes way too fast.
