Happy Father's Day!  Tracy took these and they made me think of you.  Thank you for being my father. Joe

Maren, don't you think that with age comes wisdom?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

with much love (and a hug from Tim),

Dad

Tim, do they have birthdays in Skagway?

Happy morning Tim. Happy that those birthdays keep coming. Just knowing you makes me happy. Isn't happy a funny word?
love,
Dad

Tim's on top for his birthday!

Okay Sam, are you going to keep having these birthdays or what?

Much love and respect and even awe on your birthday!

since it's sam's birthday, he's on top here

Joe's birthday

Well, well, well. You're catching up to me Joe. It has been a good year for you, it seems.
much love,
Dad

And for a photo, here's one of your grandfather when he was getting flight training just out of high school, on his way months later to the Pacific and the last year of the war.

34!

Well Nate, you made it. Numerologically, 34 is a number made up of a 3 (the divine) and a 4 (the earthly). I think that describes you beautifully: divinely earthy.

Happy birthday!

Ben in Rennes -- happy birthday

Well Ben, have you noticed that you're gradually aging? The newest studies confirm that almost everyone and indeed perhaps everyone is aging. If later studies bear this out, we'll keep counting birthdays. The big question that remains is whether this is at least in part affected by humans interacting with one another.

This little buck didn't age much past his first birthday. Glad you did! And hope that you have a splendid birthday. If love helps with the process, you'll live to be as old as Methuselah. There's plenty of love coming your way.
