OLDER THEN DIRT

Today is my dad's Birthday, he is 72 years old. I know what you're thinking. Your Dad is as old as my Grandparents. There's a reason for that. My parents had been married for 15 years, when I was born. Actaully, they had nothing to do with my birth. Both my brother and I were adopted. Although, that's a whole other story in itself. I'm just actually happy that, he's made it this long. Not that he's in bad health or anything. It's just that, The Grim Reeper has been busy lately. I'm not going into that, on such a festive day.

Can you imagine being born in 1934, and living through the depression era? If I have to do without just the simplest things, it makes me crazy. What about all of the food and gas rationing, that took place back then. I suppose that, it's no different then today. We do that, on a weekly basis. You know, pay check Friday. We've all been there. Heck, I'm still there. Although, our prioritys have changed. Remember the rationing that took place when we were younger? Well... if I can do without this, I'll still have money to go to the bar tonight. Don't even pretned like you didn't do it! Unless, you've been living under a rock for the past 10 years or so.

I don't know, maybe your stupid days of youth, goes back farther then that. However, I won't tell you how far mine go back. You'll have to wait until tomorrow, to do the math. Unless you know me that is. Yes... my dreaded Birthday is tomorrow! All I will say for today is, I am now in my late 30's. Never-the-less, I hope that I reach my dad's age. By then I'll have half grown grandchildren running around. God Forbid That Ever Happening! I've begged my boys not to get married, or have any kids. Yes... that's another whole story in itself too. Anyway, I've got to call my dad. See ya'll!
