Love Story


Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the
first was made.- Robert Browning



Many years ago, back in 1978, a handsome young crazy hot guy was cruisin' the campus of the University of Kansas for his dream girl. He was the complete package. Tall, dark, handsome... smart too!



Coincidentally, around that same time, a fifteen year old girl with a very unfortunate hair style was searching the halls of her high school, on the other side of the state line, looking for HER one true love.

It would be years before the crazy hot guy and the girl with the unfortunate hair style would find each other. The crazy hot guy would first find another girl with a not so unfortunate hair style and marry her and have a son who would become a great lover of all animals great and small.

The girl with the unfortunate hair style would eventually grow up and lose the unnaturally natural hair style in favor of something that suited her face and small frame. She too married, though not someone nearly as crazy hot as our hero, nor as tall dark and handsome. (DUH!) But she too had a son, a talented and funny son who loves his momma.


Twenty-five years after the crazy hot guy was cruisin' the KU campus, looking for just the right girl with the twinkle in her eye, and the young girl with the unfortunate hair style was searching the halls of her high school on the wrong side of the state line, fate intervened and brought a sweet successful single handsome man to meet a nice single working mom for a lunch date at Panera. The two have been inseparable ever since. They decided they should grow old together.
Today the hero of our story is having a birthday. I know he is missing his dog very much. So, in honor of his birthday, I would like to present him with the gift of a portrait of Liz. Especially for her daddy.
