CJ's Birthday

Today is our son CJ’s thirty-fourth birthday. I don’t feel old enough to have a son that age, but the wrinkled face in the mirror assures me it’s true. Mrs. C. and I were twenty-eight and had already been married six years when we had our one and only child. Since we’ve known each other since high school it isn’t inconceivable that we could have a son in his forties. I shiver at the thought. Read about CJ (here).

  2. Happy birthday to him

    My oldest brother is a tad older than CJ. My mom is about to be in her mid-50s. Now that he's about to get close to 40 in a few years, I tease my mom with "you're old". She doesn't like the thought either.
