seems like just yesterday

that my boys at HOK Sport (now Populous) were my age. I still remember wondering what it was like to be that much older than I was. I always figured I would be as cool as they were. If not, cooler.

And now they're married, living in other places, doing other things... and with babies. Living a life that I still look up to, constantly.

My thoughts wander back to the pool tables at Cedar Tree, and the general Putney area. I remember all the things they've taught me over the years. And the opportunities they've opened my life to. From running into the wall, trying to catch the frisbee... to generally watching out for me as I grew up from being a teenager til now.

It's been a while. I only wish they were here to celebrate my life with me.

Geekboy, Gramps, and Paul Morris. I miss you all. Thanks for being the big brothers I never had. I hope this post finds you well.

All my love on my birthday weekend.
