birthdays

Happy Birthday!
to my Mr. b...

No, this isn't my Mr. b.
This is Tom Morris golfing at St. Andrews, Scotland in 1900.
But, Mr. b does loves to golf and I hope he is still golfing when he's ol'Toms age.

Mr. b would title this photo "Missed Opportunity."
It is the Lone Cypress at Pebble Beach.
While we lived in Salinas, Ca., Mr. b had the opportunity
to golf Pebble Beach but at the last minute got called in for guard duty.
Now, almost 40 years later, I think he wishes he would have risked the dishonorable discharge.
Today Mr. b is still doing his "duty" according to Uncle Sam,
only it's jury duty.
I hope the jury reaches a verdict quickly and I'm not eating birthday cake by myself tonight...b
