And don't wait on doing the things you want or make excuses for not taking the trip or going on the adventure you desire. 

Today's been a rough one, and I'm not ready to talk about it. But the inevitable (not my health, but some of you know what others in my family are facing) is occurring. I'm numb, cold, helpless and in shock. Feelings that I never feel.

Good advice and thanks for the reminder.  It's hard sometimes to remember.  Take care of you and yours.

I have been talking about the Hot Rod Power Tour with my Dad and Uncle since I got my Cougar.  I wasn't able to get the car ready last winter and now I'm not sure my Uncle's going to make it until next summer.

My dad would ask me to drive him to Big Rapids, Michigan to see his cousins and I was going to when I had an open weekend.  

Never made it - shame on me.

Big Rapids?  My wife is from Big Rapids and we met at Ferris State University. Her mother and step father are both from Big Rapids and live down the street from us. Tonight they had a friend down from Big Rapids as well. Small world and I bet there are some common connections   our families could make.

In reply to wawazat :

Theresa Fry - my dad’s cousin.  They have a farm.  Lucy and Rocco DeVivo was grandparents.   Doris Kilgore Karas is my cousin.  

My dad spent a lot of time in the summer on farms there in the late 1930’s and 1940’s.  He was always drawn to the area.  Aldo family near Paw Paw.
