Manny's Birthday

Proud Dad!

The poor kid had to work on his birthday. It was a "scorcher" today and they let everyone go home a half hour early. We had a quick video chat with his Mom and Sister, then went to Formosa for Chinese food. A quick stop at Stewarts for some ice cream and now he's watching the Mets. Bridget and I have been blessed, he is a great kid.

What a difference 19 years makes!

I gave him his first lesson on a manual transmission on the way home. He did pretty well for his first time. It sure brought back some memories for me. My first car, a 1977 Subaru Wagon, had a standard transmission. I, however, didn't know how to drive standard. My Dad and my best friend John taught me, but it took a while to get comfortable on those hills. Manny is doing better then I did!

I was able to completely clean my car and vacuum out the minivan. I'll finish up tomorrow.
