I’ve always felt the best birthday gift I gave was being born. For over 76 years it has brought enjoyment to so many folks. It has been a gift that keeps on giving. I shamefully admit that I have hardly any recollection of other birthday gifts I gave. I’m sure they were all special. Every

In the interest of brevity I’ll confine my response to just my straight male friends. Let’s start with Timmy Henry. He was a year younger than me and lived about three houses away from my boyhood home. His mother was a registered nurse who was often called to our house whenever anyone got sick. His

Oh, they’re likable enough, I guess. As to why I’m their best uncle it’s probably because of the life lessons I’ve taught them and the largesse I’ve bestowed upon them.
