HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RHONDA!

i want to wish my wife, rhonda, a happy birthday. she came into my life in 02 and at that time i was an emotional wreck and still recuperating from the death of ellen. rhonda brought joy and love back into my life. i could have searched the world over and not found anyone better than she. not only my lover, rhonda is my best friend. she is highly intelligent, articulate, funny (a great mimic!), loving, beautiful and keeps this old man's motor running. THE best cook i have ever known and is always on OUR side, not her side or my side but our side. when i am down, she encourages me and when i am up she always along the ride. she is my biggest fan and i am hers. as the line in the song goes, "i will be the biggest fan of your life" applies to both of us. (her brother, larry, sang that song at our wedding and sang it beautifully i might add).

she even has become not only a good poker player (never played before) but is also my poker coach. she can talk poker, baseball and basketball with the best of them. we can be silent together or talk all night.

she sees the good in people and truly cares for them; when they suffer, she suffers; when they rejoice, she joins in.

intelligent? she has two masters degrees and is a cpa (the exams for cpa are harder than the law bar). once, in some magazine, there were some problems from the mensa test and i did one of them and it took me 15 minutes and pen and paper to solve; rhonda comes home and i say, " hey baby, take a look at this and see if you can solve it" she sort of takes a gander and says "38". i go, ""at least you could have acted like it was hard!"

rhonda and i fell in love over the phone. she had come to a show of mine in bloomington, ind., where she was a consultant to the university and bought two of my c.d.'s. later she emailed me and we started a phone conversation that lasted months and months. finally after about 6 months of that she came up to indy to see me perform again and magic was there. after that weekend we were supposed to go to her mom's house for thanksgiving but a friend of mine got us FRONT row tickets for the rolling stones here at the mgm and so we came here. and here we still are.

i have had a lot of good things happen to me over the years but rhonda was the best thing that has ever happened to me. she is my life and my love, my friend, my companion, my lover and my partner in crime. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RHONDA.

I hope she had a wonderful day today. I remember reading a while back that she had (and you too) been going thru a rough patch in life and wish her a WONDERFULLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
One never knows if tomorrow will ever come so live life to the fullest!

This is probably not the best time to ask, but how's that old Restless Dick Syndrome coming along?
