HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON (A short photo essay)

24 years ago today- it was just 6 days after the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks.

It was also the day that our ultra- amazing son HAYDEN MICHAEL KING arrived on this gasping sod.

Now 24, Hayden has completed a communications degree at the University of Windsor and is now attending a 2 year program at St. Clair College studying Esports and Entrepreneurship!

This year he is a part of the St, Clair broadcast team.

Hayden and I have many common interests- especially sports.

He is a Milwaukee Brewers fan. (Cubs for rex)

He is a die hard Minnesota Vikings fan. (Lions for rex)

And we both love good food-

And he supports all his siblings (and his nephew, SKYLER)

And his younger sister, HANNAH.

We are perhaps most disparate when it comes to music. Our tastes are wildly different.

However, we do have a common interest in a well known Australian outfit that you probably know- TAME IMPALA 🇦🇺

I asked HAY to select one of their tunes for today’s post.

Here is the aptly titled (for a birthday) “New Person, Same Old Mistakes.”

All the best son! Happy Day and many many more!

CARPE DIEM!
