James Joseph turns 97

On December 16th in the year 1927, my dad was born, somewhere in Missouri. He spent his young life growing up in Flint, Michigan. along with 6 other siblings. (He is the last one left.)

I wasn't able to go visit him, but Lisa and Lisa (wife, sister) did.

I'm still feeling rather bad. One of the newest twists has been to wake up in the middle of the night with the cold sweats. I'm drenched, I mean like right out of the shower drenched. Such an odd feeling. I looked it up and it is quite common.

Happy birthday Dad. In our hey-day, we had some wonderful "guy trips",
sleeping in the back of my vans and seeing lots of places.
