Jack’s 70th Birthday
I don’t usually post birthday stuff but this year is new territory for me. Thank you all for your kind support over the years.
Layers
My wife’s birthday was the other day. The layers below are in honor of her. Happy Birthday, Joy!!
Birthday Diminishment
I’m having a milestone birthday today. It’s not like it used to be. Nobody knows what I was like when I was a kid any more. They’re all gone. I won’t have to listen to Dad’s yearly reminiscence that I made him miss breakfast the day I was born; I won’t get a call from […]
When I’m Sixty-Four

Birthdays are bittersweet. I love watching children who express utter delight at the attention and excitement on their own birthdays. I observed this with my grandson at his second birthday a few months ago. We dimmed the lights to show off the cake and its bright candles. William was focused on the cake and the […]
Biographies
It has always been interesting to read about the lives of others. The biography genre offers so many possibilities. One can read about successes and failures and, in many cases can identify with famous thinkers and writers. Identifying with other people can be comforting in many cases.
