Happy Birthday to my favorite son...

Today my oldest child, my son, turned 42.  So many memories swirl through my mind, it's hard to know where to start.  We've been through a near death experience, a pinewood derby triumph, a name change, the agonies of shyness, the victory over shyness, many scholastic successes, a few not so successful endeavors, interesting jobs, an eternal interest in space, fantastic support for me through the toughest time, a wonderful wife, two beautiful daughters and on and on.  Is it any wonder I love him so much and am filled with pride whenever I think of him.  Happy Birthday Thomas!
