Here's a rundown if you're just joining us:
6 months I remember getting a family picture taken.
1-3 don't remember a lot. I remember blue and green carpet. And a clown face that hung in the Dr.'s office. And a kid named David who ate raw potatoes and carried around a naked baby doll.
4 decided to follow Jesus. Think I saw a ghost.
5 a big year. Kindergarten.
6-7 same as 5 but a little taller and better reasoning skills
8 sucked. Moved and had to change schools. Got beat up at recess by Todd Sloan and Kent Keller.
9 a little better. But my toe nail fell off.
10-12 Good years. Started hanging out with Edsall, Maynard, Forney.
13-14 Junior high. Started wrestling. Locker next to Matt Birt's. Would remain that way for a long long time.
15 Freshman. Sat next to Edsall in nearly every class. GPA takes a hit.
16 Driver's license. Purchased a 1978 mustang 2 for $600. Begin to excell at wrestling. No correlation to mustang 2. This is the year of the legendary party at Debbie Daloney's house.
17 Good wrestling record, begin to get scholarship offers.
18 massive shoulder injury, miss senior season. Scholarships rescinded. But a great and eventful senior year
18-19 Off to Taylor U.
19-21 Got the heck out of Taylor U. Transferr to Miami U. Begin dating Charity Harder.
22 A good year. Marry Charity harder. Graduate from Miami.
23 Off to seminary in St Louis
25 A good year. Jack is born. I'm a daddy.
27 Take a call to plant a church in Columbus Ohio & graduate from Seminary.
27-29 Prepare to plant church.
29-30 Plant church. Sam is born. Foster parent two little girls while planting church. Hardest year of my life since the third grade. Also a very rich and rewarding year.
31 Drive to Tim Horton's for coffee. Come home and type entry on blog.
Now you are all caught up.

Nice. It's funny to see what we can remember. I believe that my own 21 thru 29 is just a big even blur. Hmmm.
todd sloan is an ass. i hate that guy
Glad to see you remember David and the raw potatoes. Do you remember the kid named Jack who ate those red berries off the green waxy-like shrubs growing out front of our blue, 2-story apartment?
Glad to see you didn't mention the person who pulled the YMCA door over your foot, in turn making your toenail fall off!!
Hey! What about the time you jumped off the stair steps calling out, "Me Superman! Me fly!!" and then you didn't fly, but instead received stitches in your forehead!!??
What a great life!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LITTLE BROTHER!!
While we weren't always locker partners (I spent some time with Greg Beyke), I thought we were locker partners at times, and not just neighbors.
Am I imagining that?
