Before I go out to mow....

and while I listen to something beautiful from a friend for the 3rd and 4th times...

I had planned to write a post for last Sunday before "the whirl" caught up with me. Something about the last Father's Day I got to spend fishing with my Dad 25 years ago. Something about figuring out when I was out with John and Dillon last weekend that John is a year older now than I was when I lost Dad, and that Dillon is almost 4 years older than John was.

John and Noel went to their 10th high school reunion last Friday night!

I have people coming into work in their "Class of 2002" t-shirts. I graduated in '73...

I don't know whether to feel old, lucky, blessed or cursed!

I suppose a bit of each is in order, like most things...

But before it rains some more, the lawn is calling!

do not ever feel cursed! ... good luck is nothing but good karma (in my not so humble opinion *chuckle*)... seems to me you ARE blessed, but of course, being a firm believer of Karma, i suggest to you that you reap what you sew, hence, you deserve the good life that you are now enjoying...do not however ask me about the BAD luck...i prefer not to go there (*more chuckling at myself*)

nameste,

Class of '70 here, and I would never want to be younger facing the world as it is now. When I was a teenager in the '60s there was hope and a belief that we could change the world. Now, not so much. We had it good.

Alan,
You should feel proud of the man you are. It has nothing to do with age.

You should feel many things, but never cursed. You, like George Bailey, have a wonderful life!

Change and the moving of time is difficult at times. I do wish that it would all stop moving so quickly so we could enjoy the music longer.

I also beat the rain with the mowing - yes!
