Tuesday

I've reached a new low on blog titles.  It is Tuesday though.  Today is my son Curtis' birthday.  I remember when he was born I was working at a General Motors plant in Flint.  I was called home and it was time to go to the hospital.  It had been a stormy day earlier.  I worked second shift.  All went pretty well but there was a blood problem and Curt needed a blood transfusion.  He's been a wonderful son and has been through a lot with his old man.
He served in the Air Force and has one son, Kevin who is also a great young man.  The game of golf is our most common shared pastime. Happy Birthday Curtis.

I watched a couple of episodes of Intervention on the tube last night.  I enjoy the unscripted shows more these days except for comedies.  Each show of Intervention shows someone who has a problem with drugs or alcohol.  You get the details of their past life and current living conditions.  You meet their families and close friends.  Eventually they all get together for the intervention and the subject is pretty much forced into going to a rehabilitation facility.  Then you see how they did.  It's quite emotional and I always get caught up in it.  I wish these people the best outcome possible.  Most relapse at least once and go through rehab again.

I'm reminded of the Soprano's intervention for Christopher.  It's hilarious.  They all end up beating Christopher up. (hope that doesn't ruin it for you) I've seen it three times and always get a kick out of it.  Our family hasn't had a formal intervention to this point.  We just continually point out each others faults. (in a constructive way)

I wish all of you Happy Tuesday and a great family life.
