TJ's Birthday et al

I tried very hard to write yesterday but things got away from me. Most of you know that it was Thomas Jefferson's birthday, but did you know that it was also mine? Incidentally, did you know that I was named after Ronald Reagan? Yes, I was. But that is a story for another.time.

75 years young. A lot has happened. I've been spending a great deal of time recently looking back. I was even trying to see if I could decide on my favorite year, but in the end too many good things happened in so many years, I couldn't pick just one.

I did have a cake of sorts. My wife made me a triple chocolate cheesecake. But without the candles.
