It's hot in Milwaukee. The rare hot spell in the summer here in the upper mid-west. But, it's a good time to think about what happens when you go from the cold winter's here to the summer. It hasn't been that long since it was -10 degree's ... we evolved to days that were in the 50's and then we went straight into 80's and 90's. That makes a person think about transition and how quickly things change.
I just reconnected with a friend of mine from the Marines. We talked about the 40 years that have gone by since those days and how we will soon be in our sixties.
That led us to talk about our fathers and the passing of one generation on to the next. And so on and so on.
We are on the way to being orphan's.
