Hard to believe it&#8217;s been over 12 years that he&#8217;s been gone. He would have been 94 years old today. We all sure miss him and the World was definitely a better place with him than without. I often wonder what he&#8217;d think of the World today and what advice he&#8217;d have for me. He might be the smartest person I&#8217;ve ever known and that&#8217;s saying something. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s sitting on a porch in Heaven reading a book, we love you dad, RIP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I have , hopefully, my last PT appointment. I&#8217;ve been getting better every day, knock on wood. Last night we all had fun at cigar night. James gave each of us a box of the new M81 Metallica cigars. They went on sale nationwide December 1st and sure are good. We all had a hand in their development as we&#8217;ve been trying different blends for about two years. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll be a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lori and I might run down to Denver tomorrow. I have a 9am call today that goes for 2 or 3 hours and then another at 2 this afternoon. We need to get on this Christmas shopping thing as we&#8217;re running out of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a stabbing at Ty&#8217;s dorm the other night and a bunch of gang members on the 16th Street Mall. Ty said there must have been 30 or 40. He&#8217;ll be submitting for a transfer at the first of the year. Hopefully he&#8217;ll get into Boulder where his brother is. Denver is just not all that safe anymore. Too bad as it&#8217;s a good school and he&#8217;s doing really well. His dorm complex is huge with hundreds of kids so it was nowhere near him, but still, not good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No snow last night. More headed this way next Tuesday, the day I&#8217;m scheduled to fly out to San Francisco. I think I&#8217;ll skip this trip to make sure I stay on the mend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it, make it a great day, 10 days until Tom&#8217;s birthday and 20 days until mine. Not sure if that&#8217;s a wow or an ugh. I&#8217;m finally at the age where I don&#8217;t really look forward to birthdays anymore, ha. Be well, stay safe and God Bless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_0813-e1505653732284.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"4007\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_0813-e1505653732284.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_0813-e1505653732284.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_0813-e1505653732284-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_8300-e1505305225759.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3996\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_8300-e1505305225759-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_8300-e1505305225759-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_8300-e1505305225759-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s is dad&#8217;s birthday.
