It’s hard to believe that son Clayton is moving beyond five (5) decades as he slides and glides down that highway of life. I’ve refused to grow up, but Clayton’s made many better choices than his old man. This retrospective makes me smile as I reflect on his progress. Scroll through this Facebook “Viewmaster” equivalent and indulge my fatherly pride as I share some highlights…ENJOY!

After a grievous family loss, I wrote our M.D. Anderson doctor/friend, “Life is short, unfair, and unpredictable. But life is good and well worth the living.” Most of you readers have had your share of of joyful occasions and major setbacks…or will. Life is like that. I’m a strong believer in gratitude…try to be constantly mindful as I “keep on choogling” down that highway of life. May the Gods of Our Understanding bless us as we strive to shine our lights in an uncertain world.
