75 Years Ago...The Doctor slapped me on my bare butt...

That's right...and here I am today...3/4ths of a century later, typing on my blog...Back then there wasn't any blogs..There weren't any laptops...(well there were several of them) ...but none you could type on...

As the old saying goes,"I've come a long way, Baby!"

And (like the Energizer Bunny) I hope to keep going and going and going...

I did not follow the rules of etiquette and invited my family and my brother John and his family and my girlfriend Linda (Margie) to my 75th Birthday party at nice restaurant...And...I asked them to pay for their own meals...Of course I said I would furnish the the dessert and party hats...This was not your usual way to have a birthday party...In fact...It was quite a cheap way to celebrate my birthday and receive presents as well...Let me say here that I am very lucky to be related to everyone who came to my party and brought me gifts...I thank you one and all...The party was a success and I know that I personally had a great time...I especially want to thank my daughter Sandra for the wonderful bag of "over the hill" gifts she found for me...They brought many laughs from all that were there... And my lady friend, Linda (Margie) who helped set everything up at the restaurant and took oodles and oodles of photos on her phone camera...

Hey, happy B'Day big fella. Looks like quite a crowd of a family you have there.

Ever hear of birth control? :-)

Hey Tommy...
Here's what happened...My mom and dad had 4 children (4 boys)... I'm the youngest...My oldest brother Vic had 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy)...My second oldest brother John had 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl)...My brother Rog never married ...I had 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl)...

We were all brought up in the Catholic church...
