Tomorrow, I'll be going to the a birthday party for my uncle, who's turning 91. I would have seen him at my parents' over Thanksgiving, but he'd gone hunting and bagged a turkey, and his neighbor offered to cook that for him, so he stayed home.
He's quite a character. He's obviously still pretty mobile, and he's definitely still pretty sharp. And, at 91, he probably has a stronger grip than I do.
He served as a pilot in the war (WWII, that is.) He was shot down over Germany and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp.
I don't know how much longer he'll be around, so when I heard they were throwing this shindig for him, I figured I'd do what I could to be there.
