Where were you 10 years ago today?
At this moment, 8:15 AM EST, 10 years ago, I was at the hospital, laying on a pull-out chair, with a brand new baby boy sleeping on top of me.

Happy Birthday, k-a-boy!

8. My Son Is Almost 6.
I keep telling him to stop growing so fast, because the little kid memories are going to keep him alive when he's a teenager.

The little stinker doesn't listen!

I was back at college right in the midst of it.

Eh not too bad a time for a birthday. Enough after Thanksgiving and right before Christmas really hits.

Have a good day.

Hey dad I think one of the pets got sick.

10. As my Grandfather used to say
"If HE is wearing a football helmet you shold be too"

We never figured out what he meant by that or what he could possibly be referring to but he said it all the time.

To answer your question-I don't know.

16. you don't want to get hit by a football helmet if you don't have one.

15. Ten years ago...
Reno, Nevada squatting in the abandoned Riverside Hotel which, if I'm not mistaken, no longer exists. Lived there for a couple of weeks with the rats and the pigeons. Things are much more stable these days.

You might die waiting for that to happen.

And you are tolerable enough to keep around a while longer.

For now, anyway.

I would have been turning 29, and I would have been only a few months away from meeting my future ex-wife.

Other than that, I have no clue what I was doing back then.

49. Happy Birthday, k-a-boy!
I was in Germany, drinking Spa Brand water and driving very fast on European motorways in my Benzo, with the beautiful MrsScorpio at my side.

I sat in cafes wearing all black, ate my pommes frites and chilled like a villain.

My days were filled with toil and my nights, with wonder.

I was an international bon vivant... and life was truly very good.
