well said my friend. YOU FREAKIN ROCK! I feel like your a good friend of mine,and weve never shaken hands
sorry to pop in again paul>>> you KNOW your Father is proud of you,looking down at you from heaven,i`m sure he is smiling,and telling his buddies "thats MY Son"
I dont know you on a personal level. Just from what I read and from when my friend, Jaccie hung out with you one time. But from what I can gather, god knows I'm no detective, you have a type A personality. And out of the blog writers out there...I would say you are number one. I come in close second. But Im glad to have gotten to "know" you through your writing and maybe some day I can have a beer with you and look a hot chicks.

You really need to get out more, Paul. =)
The funny thig is, I spent more time bumming in front of a computer and on the couch this year than ever before. Strange as it sounds, I do need to get out more. What a weird year.
Paul,
I have alwyas enjoyed visiting your site and reading your stuff, but this post really made me think that I need to go on a safari or something. Really nice work this year, my man.
....and excellent tribute to your pops. Very, very cool.
Catch up with you later,
Grant in Chi-town.
Happy Birthday, Paul- celebrate!
You are a living memorial to your father and I'm sure that he knew how much you loved him. His love and skill as a parent is evident in you; you do his memory proud.
If I were there, I'd give you a big birthday kiss, but since I'm not (and I'm sure you can find someone to do just that!), I'll raise a glass in your honor tonight!
Happy Belated B-Day, Paul!
It has been a year since I lost my father, and I took a temporary retirement, as well and it has been a fucking great ride. The clarity that comes after a major loss is amazing. Your post is beautiful and a great tribute to your Dad :).
Play hard. Only regret things that you haven't done. Try everything at least once. These theories have taken years off of my life in just 12 months, too. I loved every fucking second of it too :).
Today last year, on the day before I turned 31, I gave myself a unique birthday present — temporary retirement. Before I'd ever seen Office Space, I was telling people, "I just don't feel like going to work anymore."
well said my friend. YOU FREAKIN ROCK! I feel like your a good friend of mine,and weve never shaken hands
