It's quite a reach for me to imagine my old man riding around on a pony, ever. I'm sure it happened as I'm sure I'd have met you at some time in my life had it not been for the accident in 56. I was only a few day's old when I first met him.

How do you do? Ian Christopher Day, Born: Tripler Army Hospital, Honolulu, Hawaii, November,21, 1956 I've played squash with him a few times, only because he was able to throw the racket from one hand to the other in the nick of time and was not afraid to fall, or hit me if I was fool enough to be in the line of fire. He's been at the wheel of one or more of my airplanes although it was nothing like "boring holes through the sky" as he loved to do in fighter jets before I came along. I even piled him onto the back of a motorcycle of mine in the 70's and took him for a ride which nearly wacked us both, but he never told me of having ridden polo pony's.

I know that my father would have loved to have re-connected with you.

It’s quite a reach for me to imagine my old man riding around on a pony, ever. I’m sure it happened as I’m sure I’d have met you at some time in my life had it not been for the accident in 56.

I was only a few day’s old when I first met him. My father, D.T.D. the third was lying prone, in traction, with a cast from his toes to his chest but was still able to muster up enough energy to toss me around above him, smiling away,… until I promptly threw up on him.

Anyone may happen upon a website that has a something profound to affect their day - a total stranger who brings a message of comfort. My son gave me this prayer his senior year of college and I have since turned to it many a time to bring peace in my prayer life. He now has four children and is for work, and I know he would be happy to see it come full circle and perhaps bring a spot of peace to his present journey........

Enough is enough. If you have trouble with your junk (I'm calling it junk because you're clearly not taking caution or using it right) getting stuck in a zipper...WEAR SOME FRICKIN' UNDERWEAR! What's wrong with you people. Commando was a bad movie and the fashion movement of the same name suffers the same fate! Freakin' weirdos. Next time let the zipper take it off. Ok. Enough is enough.

Too bad the pictures are still broken even after so many reloads. I am looking forward to seeing more of this memorable experience you had with your family. I always treasure these kinds of stories because it is very much impossible to happen to me. May your family grow and prosper together more and more.
