23rd Birthday

Today would be Jakes 23rd birthday. That's really all I am going to say today. I am sure he is celebrating it with Indy and Gizmo, both who left us this year closing yet another major part of my life. I consider my life as akin to a long running television show that got cancelled. It was a surprise to say the least, yet there were a lot of great episodes and a lot of sad ones. I file the show in my memories and try to look mostly at the best episodes and learn from the bad. I am on my new show now trying to create good and happy episodes.

Happy Birthday Jake! I love you. And by the way, I guess maybe Indy was smarter than I thought. Apparently he was standing out by the corner of the yard barking and keeping critters away from the house. Now that he is gone, Jib seems to have taken on that responsibility.

To all of my friends.

I know you are thinking of us today. there is really not much you can say. Actually it is a good day. Do something nice for someone today and/or call someone you have not been in contact with for a while. Put your to do list aside for 5 minutes and do this.

Remember that when you die, your to do list will be full anyway. Take 5 minutes to have coffee with someone. Call your parents, kids or relatives and tell them you love them Stop putting it off. Life changes too fast. Remember that what we have is this moment. If you do the math as my brother would say it is only inevitable that there will be more bad times ahead, so cherish each second of each day and don't get lost in things that really don't matter.

Have a great day everyone.
