Man, how did that happen?
One day I was enjoying driving without a seat belt then everything changed.

Here's a brief video of how I have spent the last 70 years on planet earth.

Happy number 70! It's just the start of another Chapter, and it's looks like you've got a great "book" working! Life gets sweeter every day now! Hope you enjoy them each and every one!

It’s method on the edge of madness
It’s a balance on the edge of a knife
It’s a smile on the edge of sadness
It’s a dance on the edge of life

Endlessly rocking.....

A few thoughts on the film.

I enjoyed Pirates of the Mississippi. That part had a "Sandlot" feel to it.

Great pic of mom.

Great pic of the pecan pie.

On the pic of granddaughter Caroline, we're you aware someone had hung something vile behind her. It looked like a couple of red Ts. (I hope I'm wrong)

Happy birthday!

Both of her parents went to Tech.

possibly the finest film produced in 'murrica in the last 50 years - after only Gran Torino and Being There.

In some ways it combines the two - in a micro compact form - revealing the talented director's gift of economy.

Just got around to catching up online.

Late happy day, Kirby. I'm already 4 months past my 70th.

I agree on the most excellent inclusion of pecan pie.

I was waiting for a quick look into your years on the BU All-University Sing stage, but not many really good photos or videos have prevailed in that genre.

grace for your journeys,

Great recap! I'm 3 years behind you. I don't think my video will have a ski jump shot.

Kids today don't realize how difficult it was to capture video back in the 70s, or even home movies.
Would give anything for some footage of our Sing entries (The Ants, The Senators)

I still have no idea why God has let me live this long, because I was the biggest F-up in my family.
Makes no sense why my younger brother died before me.
Life is not fair, and then you die.

"At destruction and famine you shall laugh. Neither shall you fear the beasts of the field, for you will be in league with the stones of the field and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee." When ol' Eliphaz said this to Job, he wrote a pretty good epitaph for those of us whose boots carry dirt from the field.

Looking forward to Return to Giant!
