One morning a man woke up on his birthday and rushed down to the kitchen expecting a special breakfast and warm birthday greetings from his wife and children. Instead, he was met with the usual drab “good morning” and dry bowl of cereal.
As his children walked out the door to go to school, neither of them mentioned his birthday. His wife also breezed out the door without saying a word about his birthday.
Although the man was disappointed his family had forgotten about his birthday, he looked forward to getting to the office where he was sure his co-workers would have a huge cake and throw the usual pot luck birthday lunch like they did for everyone else’s birthdays.
Lunch came and went and there was no cake, no pot luck, and not a word about the man’s birthday. He didn’t even receive a telephone call from his parents.
Around 5:00 someone slid an envelope under his door. Excitedly he retrieved a card from the envelope which read, “Happy Birthday! Want to come to my place and have a drink?” The card was signed by his sexy secretary.
The man told his secretary he’d be happy to have a drink with her after work.
After they got to his secretary’s apartment, his secretary suggested she slip into something more comfortable and that he make himself at home while she was in the other room.
As she walked out of the room she lowered to lights to where he could barely see. He quickly stripped off all of his clothes except his socks and underwear and sat down on the couch. From the other room his secretary cooed, “Are you ready?”
Proudly spreading his arms across the back of the couch he answered, “Whenever you are.”
About that time the lights came up and “Happy Birthday” echoed throughout the room. There in front of him stood his entire family including his parents, wife, and kids, all of his co-workers and most of his friends.
I hope you had a better birthday than this guy did.
Happy Birthday I_S!

People are great! I love animals. Humor is very important as are tolerance and compassion. The “Golden Rule’ is good and “There but for the grace of God go I,” is true. My faith defines who I am as a person. I always learn a lot more when I’m listening than when I’m talking. Sometimes my humor and fingers run ahead of my brain so if I ever personally offend anyone, please smack me upside the head and tell me so. One of my all time favorite quotes is from the television show “Frasier”. “Civilization's not going to progress one iota unless someone points out when peoples' manners are remiss.” Daphne Moon. If I had to choose a movie which most paralleled my life, I’d be torn between Prince’s “Purple Rain” and “Forest Gump”. "Feather" from "Forest Gump" and "Purple Rain" are the theme songs posted on my "about me" page at my website. My life has been a wild and adventurous ride filled with laughter, pain, glamour, heartache, and joy. From one minute to the next, life never seems to be the same as the day before. I’m the epitome of narcissism and try to remain humble. Feel free to comment at any time, just, in the words of a popular blogger, “keep it real”. I’m here to have fun; please do the same.
