4 Dozen And Counting

Wow, I don't feel 48.......well, at least mentally.  My body could sure use some help in it's fight with gravity, but my mind is as sharp as ever.

Lori was originally scheduled to have the boys for an 11 day stretch during Christmas.  It started last Wednesday, and was to last until the Saturday after Christmas.  I of course, am extremely bummed.

In a very sweet gesture, Lori called me a couple of days ago, and asked me if I would like to have the boys on my birthday.  I leaped at the chance, and I am really looking forward to seeing them later this morning.  That's a heck of a present right there.  Thanks Lori.

It's raining and cold outside today, but that doesn't matter.  Just spending time with the boys here at the house playing games and watching movies will be fun, and just what I wanted for my birthday.

Oliver Wendell Homes Jr once said:

"Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.”


I like that philosophy and think I'll keep following it.
