As I noted recently, I am riding my Can-Am Spyder down to Florida to celebrate my mother’s birthday (which is actually today) – a very special one – but I will not mention the exact multiple decade number.  She is celebrating this weekend by preparing a pig roast.  Can’t wait.  One characteristic of my mother is her consistent avoidance of photos.  We have many Super-8 films from my youth where she is running from the camera.  Silly mom.  I do have a photo where she didn’t run from the camera as you can see below.  She pretty much looks the same today, at least in my eyes (and why I wear glasses).  😉

Happy Birthday, Mom!
