well Ben that is super Cool!
Not sure when I will get "that" honor! He is a grand lad & you should be very proud of him!

I'm just now getting a chance to revisit the company of my son! and it is so exciting!
Guess it takes a few years these days to know your son ( now 35 years for me)! & I'm getting a new lease on life!
And I'm enjoying it!

Thanks, Jim. Nice pic!

Great shot of Trevor and Ben too.

My dad's had a really rough go of it the last six months and has been pretty down in the dumps, but we got to visit for a while today (no meds, no docs, no therapy) and we patched up a couple blue-bird boxes after seeing a male checking one of the out. It was good to get to do something together besides making him take stuff and do stuff that isn't fun.

I'm being treated rather royally today, but tomorrow it's back to the grind for both my dad and me.:)

Taken Spring of '18, when the Collings Foundation flew into town. My son (42 at the time) and his son (14) drove down and we had a grand time, especially the all-over-the-body goose bumps we got when buzzed by a P-51!

Made steaks for mom, dad, wife, & a couple spoiled dogs. Went in on a lift chair for pops. Had a great afternoon.

Brad,
Waco and and I share the same North-to-South hair migration. My son has full-blown alopecia and doesn't have a hair anywhere on his body.

I am lucky to have hair based on looking at my brothers. Good thing too as I couldn’t grow a decent beard if I wanted to, think Yassar Arafat.

Me too Brad, "mangey 'possum" is more descript in my case, too much Injun and too little Saxon. When I hit 40 it filled in a little, only one member here has seen a photo of me with beard and it's terrible even now. Michael, I wondered how your son got the perfect shave. I'm sure that affliction has it's perks and minuses. Dad should be back from Florence this morning, I know their plane made it to Austin yesterday before the storms, the plan was to rest up and drive home today.

Ian,
According to my son, the positive is that he doesn't have to shave and showering is quicker, and the main negative is the lack of protection from dripping sweat, airborne dust, pollen, etc., that eyebrows, eyelashes and nose hair offer.
