Yesterday my 25 year old son took me out to lunch, then we saw Star Trek at the local cinema (which by the way was a great movie) and then he took me to the Phillies vs Orioles game last night. We were eight rows off the field.

Then to top off the night he gave me two crates full of LPs.

Thanks Son for a great Father's Day / Birthday gift. I love you.

Pop.

    I am very proud of him. He's very successful and he's getting married September 12 to a beautiful young woman who's becoming a nurse practitioner. He's very level headed unlike me.:eek::D

    Sorry Joe. Hell and today isn't even my birthday, so forget about trying to blame it on another year.

    That's okay Mike except the difference in size between Sal and me lends to no excuses.:p:D

    The Phillies broke my heart last night. They were down three zip then came back 5 to 3 only to blow it in the 9th with the Os hitting a homer and a two run homer.

    Aside from that it was a wonderful day with my older son.

    BTW Phil he gave me two crates of gems.:p
