Happy Birthdy to Win!!

When Dad and I got to the doctor's office the morning of Jan. 10, 1976 Dad dropped me off at the front door and went to park the car. The doctor took me in immediately, checked me out and said, "You are going to have a baby in about 15 minutes. Hurry up, I'll meet you at the hopsital".

I went to find Dad and told him we needed to get to the hospital right away. He said, "Do you want to walk over there or do we have to drive?" I kid you not!! His first thought was worrying about finding a good parking spot in the Hospital lot (located a block away)!! Of course, I said "DRIVE and make it quick!!!".

Win, you have made life interesting ever since. Happy Birthday!

In my defense, I was thinking ONLY of mom when I suggested we walk....knowing that the hospital was just across the street. As it turned out, I'm glad we drove (no, I did NOT find a primo parking spot), because 'lil' Win showed up only minutes later. It's been a "long strange trip" one, that I'm STILL beaming about.... and so the road goes on. Happy Birthday Win!! (um, I did try to call you early this morning) You're a special one!
