happy birthday to you

Today is my father's birthday. He is one of the most generous, compassionate, warm-hearted people I know. Add to that the fact he is incredibly skilled in all things mechanical, technical, and electrical and you can imagine why people think my mom is married to a prince. His humor is legendary, albeit reliant on recycled jokes from when we were kids. And his ability to laugh at his own humor for hours is in itself amusing. Happy Birthday D-A-D! (He also loves the film Juno--that should give you an idea of his affection for me, forever his baby girl--being the only daughter has major perks.)



Here he is with my mom in northern England appreciating the landscape. What a world traveler!
