I vividly recall your father as being Clark Bar kind of guy. For the first few months after turning 34, whether it was psychosomatic or not, I felt like my metabolism was slowing down a bit, and I accepted it. With this birthday, I had lunch with Tojo @ West Coast U. and then had dinner with Babs; both are birthday activities that I could have done since 1988 with the former an activity that could have been done since... 1980. I also read an article about giving up the clothes of a younger man, baggy jeans, baseball caps, etc. I ain't havin' none of that.

That used to amuse my mother! I always thought that my parents’ childhoods were truly in the “olden days.” That used to amuse my mother!
