Today is my dear friend and (sometime) writing partner Jim’s birthday.
“Yay!”
Jim and I have been friends for fifteen years now.
“Huzzah.”
In all those years, I have never sung to Jim in my Tina Turner voice.
“Bummer.”
So today…
“Are you? Well, ARE YOU?”
Nope, not going to do it today, either.
“You are a beast.”
I know! I hope you have a very happy birthday, Jim. Thank you for fifteen years of making me laugh my tonsils out, sharing deep and serious conversations, and talking me down when my stress buttons get pushed by politics. You’re the greatest.
“Water? I hardly know her.”
thank you so much! I appreciate this so much. I love that I look so young in all the pics… probably because I was!!! thanks again, Beck… It’s my honor to be your friend.
You ARE young! Thirty-two is just a baby! 😉
I tried to find a “free pass” photo, but nothing fit.
I think my fave is us walking through the water fountain… wasn’t that hysterical? we escaped that with hardly a drop of water falling on us!!!
Speak for yourself! I was wet. I love that photo, too, but the “beast” photo has been cracking me up all day.
happy birthday – belated!
I know… Linda would have been on time…
Ha ha! This comment will be like a gift to him.
HAHA…. thank you Lynne! (aka Linda Bishop….)
I knew it would make you laugh.
Now I want to hear you sing in your Tina Turner voice. You know, when I was in my teens Ike and Tina Turner played every week at the Club Imperial which was only five blocks from my house. Though my mom liked Tina, she said “decent” folk didn’t go to places like that.
NO ONE will hear me sing in my Tina Turner voice.
Didn’t your teenage self ever sneak those few blocks to hear Ike and Tina?
Oh, dear, I missed his birthday.
And I had a roll for him.
He’ll be SO SORRY that he missed that lovely gift.
I’ll save it and give it to him next year.
It’ll be even tastier then.
