Thomas Jefferson's 281st Birthday and My 70th Photos

Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the
United States, Born April 13, 1743

I was born 70 years ago on Thomas Jefferson's birthday, April 13th, 1954.  It's Thomas Jefferson's 281st.  The Better Half and I had a low key celebration. We went to Garland City Beer Works in Watertown where we had a couple of drinks and food. The band Bad Husbands Club was playing there 6-9:00.  The next day my daughter S made us some great macaroni and cheese, dropped off a couple of rib eye steaks, a 6 packof Guinness Extra Stout beer and a Friendly's ice cream cake. It was delicious. I couldn't ask for a more pleasant birthday.

 Yikes, where did the time go?

March 25, 2022 I find a 36 year old check, uncashed

 I find a 36 year old check

A check for guitar gig from May, 1986 that I never cashed. 

 Today I found an unopened letter amid some old notebooks and memorabilia that has been stored in my garage for many years. Inside was check written out to me for $25.00, payment for a guitar gig I did at Jefferson Community College, Watertown, NY, back in May of 1986. I can't believe that I never opened it. Never cashed the check. It's crazy. 

The event was for graduating nursing students receiving pins. The bank was Marine Midland Bank which is no longer in operation.

A check from 36 years ago that I never cashed. Found it while cleaning out the garage and throwing useless old records & memorabilia away.

 On another note, It was a grey, cloudy day in Chaumont, NY. Temperature stayed around 40 degrees. I raked up part of our yard. That was good exercise. We had chicken, French fries and peas for dinner. I believe it's the 28th day of the Russia - Ukraine War. Russia has taken quite a beating. Ukraine has suffered a great deal of damage. It is also the 3rd day of applying Efudex cream to my forehead as treatment for actinic keratosis.
