my dad..was old when god was a small child...is coming to visit me for a few days on his way to his battleship reunion in st louis..he is one of the few WWII vets left...when he started going many years ago, there were 350 left ..now 38.....

he was wounded by a kamikaze plane at okinawa and almost died..carries some fine japanese steel still in his back....he has a huge scar and wide..on his abodomen..it was held together by thread with pennies (holes in them) ...used to tighten the stiches and hold his guts..until he started to heal..

anyway, i hated him when i was young...and respected him in my 20s and finally loved him later on.////

i be away for awhile..to hang out with the old man and toss down a few and listen to stories ..."some of them magic..and some of them trajic..but in the end..he had a good life"

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Enjoy Dean! You never know what you missed until you don't have it any more. My Dad died when I was 9 and there hasn't been a day gone by in the last 50 years where I didn't think about him.
