Celebrating Nearly 1/2 a Century



Today is John's 49th Birthday. He says he's going to do everything this year to convince himself that he's not going to be 50 next year. The first thing on his list is rock climbing at Dick's Sporting Goods.

Little known facts about John:

  • Has won numerous Addy awards for writing and producing radio ads.
  • Was classically trained on piano through collage.
  • Is the only one in his family who can't roll his tongue.
  • Once gagged while changing a baby's diaper.
  • Once tried a Pounce cat treat just to see how good they were.
  • Is a killer at Trivial Pursuit or any other trivia game.
  • Can play or recite lyrics to zillions of songs from all genres. Ask him yourself.
  • Has perfect pitch.
  • Has a father's heart and is a big softy.

Can you think of any more?

Happy Birthday John! From you adoring fans Tracy and Shelley Paulson.

If we had known it was nearly John's birthday, we would have bought dinner Sunday night. ;-)

Your presence is a gift.

Happy Birthday John.

If we were there we would buy you dinner, or cake, or a delicious Starbuck's drink.

Hey, you can still send me a gift certificate...or cash. This 'your presence is your gift' stuff is bunk!
