This is my day because today I celebrate 54 birthdays. I am taking the day off from work and playing a round of golf with a pal. By tonight, after golf, dinner, presents, and some good wine, I will probably resemble the gentleman at the right of this wonderful painting by Jean Beraud [1911].
The past year had Paris and many other memorable events which I have tried to share with you here. My son The Future Rock Star has become a VERY fit young man of nearly 16. He is taller than me. My wife The Irish Redhead has enjoyed her best health in many years. I am eight years Post Heart Attack. In a month, I will be attending my thirtieth school reunion at a place I love very much. I am feeling pretty good about my writing and I have some really interesting ideas in my head fighting each other to get to paper. I have 68 followers of The Epic and I am so thankful for each and every one of you who take valuable time to come and visit. Even better, I have made some superb friends here and I look forward to making many more.
I have a very good feeling about things as I enter my 54th year. Let's see what happens next!

To quote [I think] Oscar Wilde, I'm in shape. Pear is a shape.
