Who Is "Old Men Reflect"?


I love this picture of my Uncle Jim, circa 1969. He's the one in the center. He is the youngest of 4 kids... and he's usually the center of attention. Like this photo. Right in the center. He is my mom's little brother, and currently (and more popularly) known as Old Men Reflect. He leaves all the insane interesting comments on my blog. Like when I wrote about how we're reading aloud biographies of important people to our kids at dinner, he suggested Al Capone and a few other choice criminals. He often suggests I go fix myself a stiff drink. And in my last post about the skunk, he made a reference to Sarah Palin.

His incredible sense of humor and dark wit hide a big softy, though. He is generous beyond words. He is thoughtful. He is loyal. He is kind. He is amazing. He is a knight in shining armour and I am fortunate to have him as part of my family.

Uncle Jim, I'm sorry to have betrayed your secret--that underneath all your biting sarcasm is a great man. A great, great man. Here's to many more posts that inspire your great comments.
