Happy Birthday Goldfish!

I have known Goldfish for over 12 years - her friendship has been unwavering and for the last year or so that we've been "together" I've come to realize I'm quite a lucky guy to have her in my life. She loves all the same things about the island that I do, she loves animals, we share the same quirky sense of humor . . . . she lets me be me and encourages me in all my odd endeavors. We both love books and movies and the sound of a blizzard outside. We both love to travel, both love to hike, both love to snowshoe. She is always up for an adventure - I think we knew last winter when we were exploring Boston together that we were a great match.

Goldfish turns 35 today . . . . I swore I would never become involved with a woman younger than 50 so I guess I'm going to have to say she's turning a very young 51. I told her when I moved out here that all I could promise was 45 years and I can't believe how fast the last 8 months have gone by and how much I'm looking forward to the next 44 years and 4 months . . . Happy Birthday my Goldfish - private birthday cards are good but so are public ones!
