Happy Birthday Jesse!
Click to add your comment

Three of our grandkids came into the world within 30 days of one another.

Today is the birthday of the third member of that trio of Graham, Juliana and Jesse ... Happy birthday, Jesse! (We're not a little worried what this trifectra might cook up some day...)

In his early years, we loved baby sitting Jesse. Jamie brought him to our home Monday evening and picked him up Tuesday evening. It was a wonder-filled time for PaPa and TaTa. We remember those days with much happiness. Tuesday morning PaPa would take Jesse to the coffee shop on College Avenue in Oakland, sit him on the counter as he ordered, and Jesse would score a Madeleine every time! As young as he was the look on Jesse's face was something like, "Life Is Good!" ;o)


We hope your 16th birthday was a very happy day for you!

Love, PaPa and TaTa

"NO DEAL BASICALLY means that if we can't find a solution that wold benefit us both, we agree to disagree agreeably--No Deal. No expectations have been created, no performance contracts established. I don't hire you or we don't take on a particular assignment together because it's obvious that our values or our goals are going in opposite directions. It is so much better to realize this up front instead of downstream when expectations have been created and both parties have been disillusioned.
     When you have No Deal as an option in your mind, you feel liberated because you have no need to manipulate people, to push your own agenda, to drive for what you want. You can be open. You can really try to understand the deeper issues underlying the positions." (9/9)
