Well, off to bed after a fantastic night. Lt. Bluesman cranked out a fantastic meal, and we had family and friends over to pack the place to the rafters. Gifts were exchanged with those we won't see in the morning, and then we set about wrapping everything else up.
So, I'm getting up in seven hours to watch the reactions of the family to their gifts, and then it's a short trip down to my wife's maternal grandfather's place on the beach for some more family time.
How did I rate this much good stuff in my life? Certainly not by being virtuous and good, because I've attended the funerals of better men than me. Whatever it is, I've got the life I dreamed about, and my wish for you all is the most profound blessing I can think of:
May you all be as happy as me.
