Happy Birthday

---

Old Gal moment…posted this a day early. His bday is tomorrow so we shall celebrate his awesomeness two days instead of one.

When this old gal was a kid…

A stray cat showed up at our house…a stray cat…who soon gave birth to three adorable kittens…one black…one striped…one gray…each of us…got to name one…little me…named the striped one Domino…that younger brother of mine…named the black one Charcoal…that big brother of ours…named the gray one…

Gray…just Gray…plain old Gray…because…he was gray…drove the rest of us nuts…be creative…we said…be clever…we said…but no…Gray it stayed…

Looking back…how clever that name was really…how funny…how creative…and how fitting…coming from that pizza making brother of mine…

Simple…yet not…solid…but with a unique flare…thoughtful…introspective…yet witty and clever…and like that cat…so many years ago…Gray…just plain Gray…

He’s full of color…his own kind of color…that anyone that knows him…truly knows him…can’t help…but see…

So today…we celebrate 65 of anything but plain years…for that birthday brother of mine…husband…father…grandfather…brother…uncle…boss…and friend…

Happy Birthday…Pizza Guy…may your day be filled with rainbows and unicorns and all things old guys like you love…
​
And those nieces of yours…agree…
