.

Heard many times - "Enjoy - life goes by very quickly". Never really thought about it much till now. Boy is that true.

Seems like yesterday I was playing stick ball on the streets of the Bronx where I grew up (my game name TBB - The Bronx Bomber). Family moved to Paramus, NJ in '56.   It became known as a shopping center hub. Back then there were no shopping centers - no garden State Parkway, no high school. I was in the 4th graduating class of Paramus High School. We had our 60th reunion two years ago. From there graduated from Rutgers. Then spent 4 years getting graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. 

Spent 35 years designing and developing computer systems. After that taught math at a local college for 8 years then retired.

Bought my house in '76 - got married in '80 - my son was born in '90 - my wife passed 2012 - been with my girlfriend since 2015.

Been hanging out with a bunch of >IDIOTS< since 2010. Thanks @Ruggerxi for establishing this group. Spent many fun hours here getting to know the crew - to name a few - @loaderXI @BUDMAN  @LtLaszlo @Icequeen @WldPenguin @major-mark63  

@PimpedOutPete @jointz @bds1961 @BigPapaDean  @FRENCHI  @google  @HarryWeezer @Joe Canadian

Below pictures of my birthday dinner with my girlfriend and one of my son.  Will be revisiting this when I turn 90.  So enjoy - life goes by in a blink!!!!:yahoo:
