DON'T MISS HIS SENSE OF HUMOR

 MY LONG TIME GOOD BUDDY JIM AND I SIT DOWN FOR A COFFEE IN A SEAFORTH ONTARIO PARK

Just when I think we have absolutely seen the nicest weather day of the year, up pops a better one.  It was a marvelous day to sit outside in a comfortable lawn chair in a quiet Park setting with coffee in hand talking to a good friend.  And, that is just what I did.  My good Stratford buddy Jim and I once again met for coffee in a Park at the east end of Seaforth, Ontario.  Over the past couple of years, we have met in this Park at least half a dozen times which is so much better than a noisy rattle-and-bang coffee shop with its distracting din of animated voices and hardass plastic seating.  To this Seaforth Park, we bring our lawn chairs and leisurely chat away the hours surrounded by Mother Nature's quiet understanding.  Our coffee get-togethers are always a mini-marathon event and today was no exception as we brought this one in at exactly 5 hours.  Jim and I have been good friends for nearly 44 years so we always have things to talk about.  You can find Jim's excellently written real-life humorous stories on my sidebar under Lifetime Sentences.  Don't miss his sense of humor:))

JIM AND I HAD THE ONLY TWO VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT

 I DON'T KNOW....I PROBABLY DIDN'T MAKE IT BACK TO MY CHAIR BEFORE THE CAMERA'S SELF-TIMER WENT OFF

Since his serious motorcycle accident months ago, my son Sean has done incredibly well in healing from his serious injuries.  So well in fact that he is at Universal Studios in Los Angeles this week attending the PMA music conference.  I was telling Jim this morning how proud I am of Sean and how pleased I am that my lifelong love of music has passed through me to him and he has worked hard to creatively take it to a much higher level and make it his own success.         

 JIM HAS SOME OF HIS BEST PALS LIVING RIGHT IN HIS OWN BACK YARD IN STRATFORD
