Yes I had my kids young!! Dave and I both come from large families he was #5 of 7, and I was #6 of 6. (I lost a sibling to SIDS before I was born) We liked having the energy to chase them around and now we even have some energy for the granddaughter!

Mom - you have a granddaughter? I am nine of ten. I often think that maybe we should have had more, but these three wear me out……

Hi boobs.

I've learned....
That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.




I've learned....
That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for




I've learned....
That money doesn't buy class.




I've learned....
That it's those small daily happenings that make life so
spectacular.




I've learned...
That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.




I've learned....
That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?




I've learned....
That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.




I've learned....
That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.




I've learned...
That love, not time, heals all wounds.




I've learned...
That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.




I've learned....
That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.




I've learned....
That there's nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheeks.




I've learned...
That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.




I've learned....
That life is tough, but I'm tougher.




I've learned...
That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.




I've learned....
That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.




I've learned...
That I wish I could have told those I cared about that I love them one more time before they passed away.




I've learned....
That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.




I've learned....
That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.




I've learned....
That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.




I've learned....
That when your newly born child holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.




I've learned....
That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.



I've learned ...
That it is best to give advice in only two circumstances; when it is requested and when it is a life threatening situation.




I've learned....
That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.




To all of you ... Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.



It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care.


HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!

Good evening here. The kids are bathed and watching American Idol with their mother. No homework tonight due to testing at school. My wife had new headshots taken today, so we will see. I am sure they will be gorgeous as usual.

Is your wife acting in Chicago??? My friend Lusia...my ICON...did lots of acting in Chicago...where she is from. She just did "Merry Wives" on Navy Pier this past summer.

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 3/9/05 at 9:23pm

Yes, occasionally. Your friend must be talented to work with Barbara Gaines who has gained such an excellent reputation. (Sadly, no embarrassingly, I have never seen a Chicago Shakespeare show.) Did you see the production?

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 3/9/05 at 9:32pm

No I didn't make it in...but a very sweet poster from here sent me some reviews that made me proud. I did see her in a show she did with Steppenwolf. You can see Lusia in the movie "50 First Dates" and the soon to be released "Miss Congeniality 2".

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 3/9/05 at 9:44pm

What did she do at Steppenwolf?

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 3/9/05 at 9:59pm

Lusia was in productions at Steppenwolf of:
Love & Sin: A Solo Experience 2001-2002
Our Town 1997-1998
Whispering City - Chicago Ghost Stories 1999-2000
HYSTERIA - November 26, 1999 — January 22, 2000

brdlwyr- yep my oldest had a little girl last Sepetmber (today she is 6 months old!) Dave and I always said "More than 2, less than 10" These three wear me out now!
BB, Erin's first choice for college is Loyola! Right in the heart of Chicago!!

Mom..tell Erin that I'll visit her lots if she goes there. Most of Bongo's family are still there, plus LOTS of friends.
