Yepper, Larry, today 32 years ago I talked my father for the last time, he asked if he could come back home, I told him maybe it's better that you stay at the apartment. Monday took the Corvette to Dan Young in Broadripple everyone there was staring at me and couldn't figure it out. Went to the caddy dealership(ours) and the bomb was dropped on me, he was no longer alive then I had to tell my mom.

Today we talked about him and celebrated his life, this was the first time we did it. Its a good thing we are home in Indy.

Yes Life is strange and as My grandfather said, It's a great life as long as you don't weaken.

All times are CT (US)
