1 – I am finally resigned to the fact that I was in the best shape of my life at two. You would hardly of recognized me then.

2 – No matter how hard I try, 5’6″ will never be 5’10”. I will always walk on the high part of the hill. I am not ashamed to stand on the bottom step and kiss a girl goodnight

3 – I will record and perform music until the day I die

4 – I will never have a million dollars in savings. See number 3

5 – I was born to be a father of Girls. I pitched the mother of all fits when I found out the baby was a girl. So mad. So angry. “WHY God, WHY.” Then she was born. I mean the second she was born I was done. I was put on this earth to be a father of girls. Erika, Sommer and Mary Margaret are truly the best I have to offer.

6 – Gas is funny. 46 years and it’s still gets me. If you release a gaggle of honks anywhere near me…I am going to laugh. I feel no shame in this.

7 – I know what you are thinking, and you’re right. I have been working out!

8 – Proud of Ya; That’s a beautiful story; So many activities; Release the hounds; Tonight, we drink *usually at a table full of people with my hands held high*

9 – If 7 and 8 are familiar then I like you. I don’t waste my best material on people I don’t care about.

10 – There are times I can be a major league a**hole. Just want you to know that I know it too.

11 – The last year I have lost a lot of friends, more than I care to mention. It hurts. I’ve watched my friends lose their brothers, sisters, wives, husbands and children. That almost hurts worse. You are all in my thoughts every day.

12 – I have to come to rely on my faith in God and prayer more and more as the years go by. I am in awe of God’s grace and humbled that it still applies to a wretch like me. I think “Footprints in the Sand” pretty much sums up my life story.
