At 11:09 in the a.m., on this date way back when, I came into the world prematurely. At five pounds, fifteen inches, I was a tiny thing, and had to be on oxygen for a couple of weeks. I was two weeks old before my mother could even hold me. But I clearly survived my beginnings with plentiful food, plentiful hugs, and just darn good parenting. I sure ain't the tiny thing I once was.
For all the good that my life has been, thanks be to my parents and to God. For all the bad, well, that's my fault.

Many years, my friend!!
