Kids Today

"The Kids Are Alright" by the Who

Don't think adults have a big influence over kids today? This photograph will probably disprove your theorem.

On my Birthday, I'm taking a look, over my shoulder at some of what I left behind. A little bit more about me today... revealed.
Definition: bittersweet- both pleasant and painful or regretful: a bittersweet memory.

On another note, Elenka and I had a wonderful evening last night at the Salt Water Grille with Brattcat and SCreech and their husbands.
Now, I'm off to enjoy my day.
YOU enjoy it too!

  10. Happy birthday Mr. Norton! I miss you so much, my 7th grade year was so much fun thanks to you! I will definitely miss all the different ties in the morning and I still don't forgive you on those days you decided not to wear ties. I'm very thankful to be able to remember you as my 7th grade Language arts teacher. I hope you have an amazing day and summer, it was a pleaser having you as a teacher/friend. Thank you so much and again happy birthday!
