This is Dedicated to the One I Love

It's Kelly's birthday today. I hope I'm not giving too much away (considering that she needlessly tells the kids that she's 29 year after year) by divulging that it's the 28th year we've been a couple on the big day. You'd never know it—or believe it—by looking at her, either. She's often mistaken for being...well, just a few years older than 29, let's just put it that way—before I really get myself into trouble.


I'm not one much for Hallmark-variety mushiness, nor do I have a knack for expressing my emotions in fancy words of my own. But I hope Kelly knows how much I love her after all these years and how lucky I feel to have her in my life. And, um, how much I appreciate that she still loves me in spite of the bad early 90's hair I was sporting in these photos.

Happy birthday, KJ. If I had a million dollars, I'd buy a gift worthy of you. But since I don't, I hope this will do...
