I expected an ongoing march of progress in these United States. Now, I’m not so sure.” I’m in the same boat. I never imagined that it would come to this. I have to remind myself that progress is never a straight line. From the time when I was 19 until now (I’m 76!) I’ve seen lots of progress. We will get back on track. On the occasion of your 47th birthday let me say, you are the polar opposite of the 47th inhabitant of the White House. For as long as I have followed you on Substack, you have come across as a thoughtful, kind, and generous man. And that makes all the difference.

Happy Birthday. My gift to you is some unsolicited advice from some much older: Take your physical and mental health seriously. Diet, exercise and sleep are everything. Someday you’ll wish you were only 47.

Happy birthday! My 47th is 2 weeks away and somehow it seems a bigger deal than 46, ha. Many happy returns ☺️

I discover you on your birthday. Hope you had a fulfilling day. April 1 is my late mother's birthday so this date has always been meaningful for me. I'm a photo enthusiast and look forward to exploring your art. Just getting familiarized with substack.

That was my late mother's birthday, too. She would have been 106 but died over 40 years ago now. Always a time to reflect.

Happy birthday. My 47th is almost 30 years behind me. The passage of time never fails to amaze me with all of the sneaky ways it slips in some unexpected changes all the while keeping some things untouched. Enjoy the ride!

That's a very '90s era car you were in!
