Happy Birthday Daddy

This is the final happy birthday wish, for a while anyways, and its one of the biggest. My dad's. In celebration of his birthday he finished and printed out the first draft of his second novel. It weighs two pounds (we put it on the scale) which means its pretty heavy stuff. He's been hard at work on this every day since we got to the woods of Washington. We are not allowed to read it because he has months of rewrites but we are still very proud and happy for him today due to the finishing of the book and the day of birth. Mama took him to a spanish film and now we are bbq'ing steaks for the family to have with twice baked potatoes and then ice cream. Tomorrow Dad gets to go into the city by himself and have time with men. He better come back.

Gus, tell your dad I'm very impressed! That's serious business.

The 6th is also Ja Rule's birthday, I found out, which makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Thanks Amra.

Dude. So is Shaquille O' Neal and Rob Reiner. I have often thought you were more than a little bit like both those dudes.
