A periodic record of thoughts and life as these happen via the various roles I play: individual, husband, father, grandfather, son, brother (brother-in-law), writer, university professor and others.
I was born on Shaw Air Force Base in Sumter, South Carolina, then lived a while in Fayetteville, North Carolina, before moving, at the age of 5, to Walnut, NC. I graduated from Madison High School in 1977. After a brief time in college, I spent the most of the 1980s in Nashville, Tennessee, working as a songwriter and playing in a band. I spent most of the 1990s in school and now teach at a university in Tennessee. My household includes wife and son and cat. In South Carolina I have a son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.
It is today, isn't it?
This is Mark, New Year's Eve, in either 1991 or 1992, I don't remember which. I would like to say half a lifetime ago, but it's getting to be more like a third of a lifetime ago!
Happy birthday, brother, be it today or not!

You've got too good of a memory! Thanks brother. Some days it seems like a lifetime ago, and then on other days it just seems like yesterday when we were playing. I do miss those days but thankful that you are still near and part of my life. It's truly a blessing to have a friend like you.
blessing indeed!!
