We’ve certainly had a lot of birthdays this past month, haven’t we? This leads me to believe that something significant happens nine-to-ten months earlier to provoke mating habits within the human species. Let’s see … nine months back from July would be … November? Ah, yes. That makes perfect sense. Winter generally descends upon the northern hemisphere of the world in this month, a dark, cold atmosphere that invariably drives people indoors. So if they aren’t vegetating and watching the TV, then it would appear they’re getting down with the birds and the bees and breeding in force. Get ‘er done, as they say in West Virginia! Anyway, today is Mike G.’s birthday. You’ve watched him open the mail. You’ve voyeuristically seen him clean up the office (repeatedly). Maybe you’ve even seen him get angry. (I’ve also witnessed him run a red light, but this tends to be a sore topic so I’d best let it go.) But now check out what he looks like riding a pink quad. Wow. So many directions to go with that one that I simply won’t. Happy birthday, Mike G!
