Well, actually, celebrating is not exactly the right word. Pondering is more like it. How did I get from being my most charming best, as seen in the photograph on the left of my Grandmother Spillard (my mother Mary's mother) and myself back in Chicago's South Side Brainerd neighborhood, to where I am now? When I was working at the University of Denver Bookstore as the Finance Manager, my friend and co-worker Doug sometimes referred to me as "Crazy old man Hoyt." He was, of course, kidding (I think), but now it is more true than not. Best to just not think about it. In other words, "Keep calm and carry on." You can quote me on that. I just made that expression up.
