“It has been many years since I’ve been back to this exact location. The stone wall along Nahant by the ocean. I have passed it here and there, but this week I finally decided to stop and take a few minutes to reflect on my life since the last photo was taken 27 years ago in this very spot. The young man on the left has his entire life in front of him. Not sure what will happen as he prepares for some fitness related competition in his near distant future. The man on the right, at 49 years old, says to himself; should I have done things differently? Could I have been a better person? Could I have been more successful? I’ve had many failures. Maybe I would not have had as many if I took a different direction in life. So many questions I asked myself. My life’s book is far from being over but at that moment being there gave me peace and closure that the past is in the past and all we can do is move forward regardless of our previous mistakes, failures, things we should have done differently or could have done better. I turn 50 years old this coming October. Let’s see what the next 50 years have in store for me. No matter what happens, I think for me, being at peace and being a good person are my top priorities at this stage of my life. God bless the masses and believe me there are too many of you out there to name individually who have enriched my life thus far and from my heart I truly thank you all for that.” ❤️

“Happy New Year! A day to celebrate and reflect upon years gone by and the loved ones we all lost in 2023 and before. I’ll turn 50 years old this year on October 30th and as a Generation X baby (born between 1965 and 1980) I have more miles behind me than ahead. So live, love, and laugh because we only get one shot at this thing called life. Have no regrets and be kind.”

It has been over 15 years since God called you home. Gone far to soon but never forgotten as I couldn’t have asked for a better person to train with (always stronger than me) & who motivated me to be better. I miss your jokes and over the years I’ve learned to embrace the Stoneface nickname you gave me which I initially kept hidden in the dark because it was associated with looking angry and mean all the time which is not the real me. Today, I feel like my nickname keeps your spirit alive and helps keep the great memories fresh in my mind. Rest in Peace Big Manny until I see you again.

“Going back about 20 years, one day I walk into the gym and this guy says to me, “man you never smile, I’m not saying you look mean it’s really stone like with absolutely no expression. Smile man, it ain’t that bad.” So from that point forward whenever I would see him he would say, “Hey Stoneface how are you?” His name was Manny Catalano who became one of my best friends. Unfortunately Manny passed away in 2005 but I can still hear his laugh and the great memories will live on forever. I’m sure he’s up in Heaven now telling God a funny joke. I really miss Manny. Never Forget You Brotha!”
