Stephen Espen Mottet “Schloopy John XXIII” Roche is 15 years old today.
When we were talking the other day I said, “Wow, 15 years old.” He looked at me with amusement and said, “It’s a nothing birthday, Dad. I won’t be able to drive for another year.”
Ah, to be in those interstitial years between being a kid and growing up. (I’m caught in those interstitial years between adulthood and retirement. It just goes on and on.)
Happy birthday, Steve.

A ‘nothing” birthday, huh? If only they knew that they all count. How come when you get older the milestone birthdays are not as excting?

Happy Birthday young man. Many more!!!

Whoops, my bad, I see you did get all the names in there! At any rate, birthday wishes still go out. Tell him that the “15′s” DO count…I’ll be 15×3 this year!

Hey, Tami, it’s all the names we call him, plus a couple we named him.
And 3×15 is doing great.
Pax…you and me, brother. How funny.
Sarcasmom, it’s funny how birthdays kind of fade as the years go by. But, oh, to be 15 again.

Frank,
Tell Steve happy birthday for me. It’s funny, Emily just turned 15 on dad’s birthday a few days ago. Isn’t it amazing how quickly they grow up?
