Default Tweny-seven years ago today....

I took my first guitar lesson. Hard to believe but I've spent the better part of my life as a musician.I started just three months shy of my 10th Birthday
On a sad note.I lost a close friend nine years ago today to suicide. So today go out of your way to tell someone how thankful you are to have the priviledge to know them.

Default This day in history

I had my first date with MRS. BIPS fourteen years ago today....ah the memories. I remember our first date, where we went, what she wore, and what we had for dinner.

Our rat terrier dog Chrissie is four years old today!

Default A different life

Boy, I know thing would be different, Mr Buckaroo...

Kids, who knows?

House, who knows?

Another wife, who knows?

BIPS, Who knows?

In the first three cases, ignorance of what life would be like without the first three is truly bliss!

I got to have the fourth one though....and I hope so for most of the kids...

Default you can do it Panetta!

Sure you can learn to do it. It's easier than juggling and less painful than trying to ride a unicycle.
