Happy Birthday Dave

After what has been an extraordinarily busy day, I'm pausing for a moment to catch my breath before heading to bed. I left home this morning at about 8:30am, and didn't walk in the door until about 11:15pm. Part of that is due to a funeral that I will be conducting on Monday for a person at Hopedale Presbyterian Church who died yesterday. I'm covering for Sean while he is on vacation. I am glad that tomorrow is my day off, but I will have to cheat at least a little bit and phone Hopedale come morning to make arrangements for Monday.

Amidst all this busy-ness, it's often too easy to to lose sight of what's really critical. For me, most importantly, today is my brother's birthday. Dave is my only sibling, and by extension, my wife's only sibling-in-law and my daughter's only true uncle.

Happy Birthday Dave, and I hope you enjoy your trip to Hawaii. I hope you have a most excellent time!
