Me, 40 years ago


This is Bill at 9 years old. Nine year old Bill would have never guessed that in the year 2011 he would be a two time grandfather. He would have never guessed that he would be married twice. He would have never guessed that he'd have gotten his drink on with his fellow Human Resource mates after work on a Monday night.

If nine year Bill was sitting here with me tonight I would tell him that he's going to have a good life, with great friends and a wonderful family. I would have told him that, even though his Dad died too early, that he had parents that loved him and would do anything for him.
Nine year old Bill wouldn't have really cared about my speech. Nine year old Bill would have wanted to go back to playing dice baseball.
Nine year old Bill. What a little shit.

Did 9 year old Bill love his bed, cigars, monkeys, and poop jokes?
