On this day in History...

Today is my Pops birthday! On this day in 1929… doing the math….that is a long time ago…

Google doesn’t have enough mega-whatevers to handle all the stuff I could write about my old man, suffice it to say he has done more than most and lived a truly extraordinary life. Jammed in bands back in the forties, joined the US Air Force, jammed in their bands, flew airplanes ( prop planes, not these freakin’ computers with wings), got shipped all over the globe, scored a hot chick ( my mom and him been married 53 years!), had kids, (2 of each), went to college, jammed in their band, spun records on the radio ( records! not a computer that spews out digital dribbles of electronic shit!) Has a bushel of grandkids, was/is always there for us (retiring from the USAF at 40 helps...wish I’d thought of that!) and generally being kick ass!

Happy Birthday Pops! I Love you!
