A half-century goes by
Today is my 50th birthday. It comes at a particularly difficult period for myself, my family and the world at large, but in keeping with the season, I can not be anything other than thankful for the lot that I have received in life. In particular, I give thanks for my wife Becky, our two wonderful children Cecelia and Garrett, my parents Irwin and Joan Allen, and the host of friends that I have had the privilege to know and who are such a reservoir of strength during this time of trial. Bless you all and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
