Hap Birth Bob
 

I have an older brother named Bobby whose birthday is the day before mine. His is the 22nd, mine the 23rd.

A few years ago, my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her I wanted a cake with my name on it. She looked surprized and said, "Why in the world do you want a cake with your name on it?" I said, "Well, when I was a kid, my birthday party was always left over cake and ice cream from my brothers birthday. Re-frozen ice cream and a half a cake. I wanted a cake - a whole cake- that said "Happy Birthday Ricky", not "Hap... Birth... Bob...". Well I got my cake - and ice cream to boot. Best birthday present ever!

Why am I writing this? Oh, I don't know, just remembering... and sharing with my friends.

Well, shoot!

I can't FedEx a cake - - it'd tear all up and the icing and "Happy Birthday Rick" would stick to the top.

BUT....if I could, I would!

You're a good friend, Renda, even if you did call me a Dork. I'll always remember one of my best Thansgiving Dinners ever. And Chocolate Gravy, too!

But, gotta be careful here. You know how rumors get started.

Yeah, by YOU!

As a wise man would often say....

"You're a riot, Alice. A regular riot!"

OneAccord, I read on another thread that you stood up your date! Was that date with Renda? Just wonderin'! You know how rumors get started!
