Another not so happy memory, although my daughter was born that year (a very good, though painful memory).

RFK, Dr. King. I was pregnant and my dad came over and wanted to teach me target shooting. Well, I ripped him a new one. He was a great Dad, just a diff generation. Yep, a memorable year. And I also remember my 12th? bday, JFK was shot the next day - that was one fucked up bday. Ok, sorry to get so OT. Been rather nostalgic and emotional lately.

Gotta shake it off. Happy almost Turkey day to all! Lots to be thankful for. Crap, there I go again. Better lay off the java so late.
