Little Birds.

This project couldn't have been done without some help from a few little birds that supplied me with material.  Some of the names  have been changed to protect the innocent!

THE BIG DAY IS HERE

"I'm going to be drunk on my birthday 24/7!"
"Your going to be as sober as kingdom be..."

Happy Birthday Big Boy!

From all of us then.

and from all of us now!

Now you can finally buy me a real beer!

We love ya to tears!

Just kidding!

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been.  The foresight to know where you're going, and the insight to know when you've gone too far.

A Final Word.

Tomorrow is the big day!  

We kid him an awful lot but we think Michael is a pretty good guy.  We're really proud of him around here and have enjoyed this trip down memory lane, most of which has come at his expense.  There is one final thing that I have to say.  To put this together I must have looked at 3-500 pictures.  There was enough material to do a whole book.  Frankly though I don't have the time, nor do you all have the interest in going through most of it.  However there was one thing I noticed. In almost every picture, no matter the event or time or place, in almost every picture I looked at.....

...Mike was always smiling.

God bless.  May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past!
