Birthday Party

I didn't count them but I would guesstimate that over forty friends and relatives attended my 80th birthday party which the Captain's Wheel organized for me.

There were three of four adult children present and a ton of grandkids, great-grandkids and many friends. It was an enjoyable experience, to say the least. I want to thank everyone for the cards and gifts. Since most of them were sent through my son, I don't have return addresses to send thank you notes but be assured I know who you are, and appreciate the gesture.

Some friends couldn't make it and they were missed. Planning has started for my 90th, plan on being there.

Mike in WV if you read this please call me at my new #. 208-683-1294.

I would be remiss if I didn't say thank you to Chan for deeply discounting the motel rooms, making it possible for my family to afford for the occasion.

Gun Control???

When will leftist elitist Gun Control advocates figure out that guns do not commit crimes. The person operating it does.

Just as forks do not cause obesity, cars do not cause accidents, etc. It is the person behind all of these things that is guilty. It is called behavior.

Off on another subject, My birthday party at the Captain's Wheel will take place Saturday, March 24 starting at 4:00 pm. I'll be 80 years old. Everyone is welcome. Party time.

13 Days and Counting

In 13 days I will against all odds, reach the well seasoned age of 80. Yes, that isn't a misprint. I will reach that milestone March 23, with a community wide birthday party to follow, Saturday March 24 at around 3 or 4 pm as folks trickle in to the Captain's Wheel who is sponsoring this gathering.

I would recount many of my adventures along the way if I could only remember them.

Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren and friends from all over will help me celebrate.

It all started when I announced to my adult children that I would much rather have a family reunion while I am still alive, than have them attend a funeral from which I wouldn't be in a position to participate. If you know me and wish to drop by please do so.
