Friday Photo Flashback

Recently, I did a blog based on a writing prompt that suggested finding a photo and blogging about the memories that it brings back to you.

Well, well, well. Look who’s back…

This is my first blog since May 18th. I guess this is the longest I have gone between blogs and many have sent private messages wondering if I am doing okay.

“For the record …”

In keeping with my tradition of following Jack Benny's example, today I celebrate the 10th anniversary of my 39th birthday. My wife is the best gift giver - hands down.
