Lunch at Ruby's Auto Diner.

Christopher David Monson is my oldest son and is the second child born to Jackie and I. Chris is a sweet guy and I love him. My heart goes out to him because of the rough deal that life dealt him. 42 years ago when he was 20 he had a bad motorcycle accident. He flew through the air and landed in such a way that he broke both arms, both legs, and suffered a concussion. He has had to contend with seizures from the concussion. His wrists were never returned to normal. Never the less he trained as a LVN and worked many years as a nurse with patients who had special needs such as addiction treatment. I am proud of him. He has had a tough 42 years but today is a model of equanimity.

Due to several medical items Chris is unable to go to work. However he keeps busy writing a couple of blogs. One of general interest that I check everyday is at http://fishwrangler.blogspot.com/  Chris writes a blog that is of a conservative nature but has lots of links to music clips, etc.

We had lunch together at Ruby's Auto Diner in Laguna Beach on Monday, August 16. Both Chris and I are old car buffs and admired the ugly Edsel and Plymouth at the door to the diner.
