I was surprised, some years ago, to read that when researchers asked folks up in their 90s what it was, over the course of their lives, that they regretted most and would do differently if they had the change-- the surprise answer was, 'Take better care of my teeth.'

A group of teenagers were in the corner whispering and glancing in my direction. I knew I wasn't winning a popularity contest, but it also didn't look too serious. Eventually, the bravest one edged his way across the room.

Happy Birthday Andrew!
Andrew is a teen now. January 10, 2010
Happy with a never-ending smile
Caring without selfishness or guile
Willing to go the extra mile.
Andrew
He wonders how that thing runs
While looking to have some fun
Or using anything for a drum
Andrew
He's really full of ways quite smart
He finds ways to make you feel a part
Cause he's got quite a big heart
Andrew
We love you Andrew! Happy Birthday!

Andrew Wowin' 'em at Cheer 'em Up Shows
Throughout 2009, but especially the past few months, Andrew stepped in to do what I did last year-- perform in our many shows in hospitals-- especially children's wards-- and in adult-care facilities.
Andrew is very good at meeting people and making them feel comfortable. With a big smile and his ever-improving balloon-sculpturing he's a big hit. This Christmas, Andrew was 'Santa's long-legged brother's helper reindeer.
I've posted a few more shots of Andrew here:
