  3. Happy Birthday to Jim! I wish I were lucky enough to never have broken anything or had surgery. Had my first surgery at age 5 years and first broken bone at age 9 years!

  6. He was also very traumatized as a youngster, once crying hysterically going through a car wash because someone told him it was "like a big monster eating us up".

    He was also lots of fun for his Aunt Rachel (who was only 12 when he was born) to tease and smootch.
