Happy Birthday Rich!


Yes, today is Rich's birthday. He is now as old as me! Ha! To honor Richard G. I'm going to share some things you may not know about him.
1. He wails on the guitar (the video game one of course). He plays on level "expert" and sings at the same time. You should see those fingers fly. He can even flip the guitar around and play left-handed. It's inspiring. He had a crowd gathered at Circuit City the other day watching him in awe. Yeah. Coolest dad ever.
2. He's the coolest dad ever. Ok, you knew that. But seriously, he gets the boys giggling hysterically like no one else can. They do lots of boy stuff together, like wrestling and growling and fixing things.
3. Rich is an inventor. Almost daily he exits the shower (creative ideas flow faster there for him than water) with some new, brilliant theory or invention. Ask him about his anti-PC t-shirts. Let me tell you, if we had the means to implement his ideas, the world would be a different place. Interpret that how you like.
4. He's extremely intelligent and politically savvy. I'm thinking President of the US in 2038... if our country is still around then.
5. He's a man of many talents: snowboarding, paint-balling, kung-fu, rich-ing around. But he also does incredibly accurate impressions of people and singers and could easily have starred on SNL if given the opportunity. He has me laughing constantly. If we lived in LA, I would fully support a career in acting for him.
6. What he really wants for his birthday are a motorcycle or a gun.... and I'm a little relieved that he's not getting either.
I love you Rich!
