My daughter Chloe's eighteenth birthday was turning out to be a lovely day. Not a perfect one, since her father, Rob, was gracing us with his presence, but at least he was behaving himself.

Living hard when sometimes you just want to live "Gunny" is a storyboard I've had in mind from 'Macy's Choices" for a while now and he helps me to close a couple loose ends from "Macy".
