One year down...



Today I turned 49. Birthdays generally haven't meant very much to me as I've never been bothered about getting older...

But as this is a birthday that I was not predicted to see, I'm happy to report that I'm still here, with no plans to leave. Now I can't take birthdays for granted so this one feels pretty good.

Soon school will be out for the year, and I'm grateful that I can spend the summer hanging with my family, making pictures, and taking a couple of road trips.....

  4. Hey Dave, Happiest of Natal Days! And you certainly have tons of reasons to celebrate. As always we send love and strength -- you are one of the most courageous people we know -- you just glow with it. Enjoy the summer in all ways. You deserve that too!

  5. Happy, happy birthday, David. I just turned 50 a couple weeks ago and am now dealing with some health issues myself. Your strength and tenacity is quite an inspiration. Many, many more!!
