To Al, With Love

Happy Birthday to a girl who can hunt with the pros, bowl a 180 (right?), make up on-the-spot fan mail, and writes great poetry. She has the best Mother-Russia/Mexican accent, will call the cops if you try to put lettuce on anyone's car ("Hello? Chess, nine-vun-vun?") and will keep your apartment safe by blocking out robbers with chairs, the TV stand and/or the sofa. She can drive through the Gorge in a thunderstorm, run through Disneyland while holding all diabetic supplies, ride ridiculously scary roller coasters, send amazing packages halfway across the world (just ask Raymond). She can handle a classroom full of kiddos, a house full of men (she's got three) and an apartment full of silly girls. She makes a wicked peach cobbler, killer fondue and will bring a cooler full of treats to any team outing. She's a great listener, gives helpful advice and is a great mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend. She is one of my favorite people and I wish her the best year yet!

everyone do high kicks, Al is now 26.

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y, A L !
