The Nonagenarian Tree

Our Cinqo de Mayo was overshadowed this year by Grandmother's 90th birthday. It isn't often that one gets to party with a nonagenarian and gather round the heart of a family. It was an informal family reunion comprising of all the kids, and the kid's kids, and the kid's kid's kids. That is a lot of people, many of whom I've never met before, but have heard about in conversation (especially with brother Dan, who seems to keep in touch with everyone).

When I was six, I thought that by thirty-two I'd have a house, family, career and would probably be looking at retirement options. Now that I'm thirty-two, I know that life is just beginning to take shape. When I was six, I didn't know about the pleasure of things like 46 oz. margaritas!

We celebrated Greg's birthday this year by doing something unprecedented by any of us - shooting guns! I've grown up around guns and did a lot of shooting as a youth in the Boy Scouts. We were taught, what I deem, a healthy respect for and working knowledge of firearms. Those were mostly rifles and later in life I received the opportunity to shoot a 9mm handgun, but I must admit that my experience with handguns was practically none.
