celebrating 25!!!!!

the year was 1988 it was a leap year that started on a friday.
LA Dodgers won the world series
the redskins won the superbowl

movies you watched in theaters were

music on the radio
george michael-Faith
INXS-need you tonight
michael jackson-man in the mirror
terence trent d'arby-wishing well (i still have this cassette)
cheap trick-the flame
guns n' roses-sweet child o' mine

gas was about 91 cents A GALLON!
stamps were 24 cents (people actually mailed EVERYTHING)

george bush (the dad) was elected president of the united states after serving under ronald reagun as vice president...

twenty FIVE years ago my world was flipped upside down and turned on its axis, in the very best possible way. he arrived at 2:10 am, measured at 20 inches, weighting in at nearly 10lbs (he was early) my oldest son was born.


  • my boy who was crawling before he was six months and walking by eight months.
  • my boy who at four took apart the kitchen chairs in under five minutes. 
  • my boy who at thirteen (after reading the manual) could diagnose and fix a dirt bike like a professional.
  • my boy who wrenched on his first truck and had it running like new at fifteen.
  • my boy who at nineteen bought a faster car, and tested its limits...
  • my boy who has passed down to his boy the love of machines :)
this is a big BIG birthday. a quarter of a freakin' century. twenty FIVE trips around the sun. love leaks out my eyeballs and runs down my cheeks. i love you and wish you a happy HAPPY day!!!
