Ode to Mary Joanna on her BIRTHDAY


Mary's birthday today, Mary as in my eldest sister.
I love all my sisters. I love them because they are all so different and cool, there's no way I can play favorites. But today Mary is my favorite. Mary has passion, guts, ambition, wit, mad smarts, mad flow, mad talent to sing dance and act it out. Mary gets into the nitty gritty of life. Where there's travail, she'll be there. Where there's a cause, she'll die for it. Mary loves to be loved. Mary loves to love. Mary has been on stage and come out of her shell and yet there's still Mary unleashed still to be unleashed. You can't keep up with her. She's a breath of fresh originality and will do anything for her friends or family. Whoever marries Mary is in for a so fresh and so clean clean life. Full of pure unadulterated enjoyment and fulfillment. She'll have dancing, witty girls and adventurous sensitive boys. Mary is the go-to girl. I go-to plethora of times. Mary is one of those people you feel safe knowing and trusting, love being with and miss terribly when she's not around. Mary my sister, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love,
Richard

It is beautiful and also, Mary is a babe, as Peggy pointed out this evening. Ask her, she'll tell you what sent the boys running into the kitchen. And Mary, you are truly so open and loving and understanding. HOTT, inside and out!

Haiku of Richard:

Fig Newtons are good
Richard calls the men to her
They are bewildered

Wasn't that beautiful? (grin and nod.)

Richard, your ode made me blush, cry, smile, laugh. I love you.

Beautiful haiku. I cried at the outset. Once anyone gets poetic about FN's, I'm a goner. I'm glad you had a good birday.
Love,
Richard
P.stinkin'S.... Richard, tonight on TNT, Richard. 8 my time, you're never going to believe this. THE FUGITIVE. Where the Richard inspiration began. I wish we could watch it together.

Oh, Richard! If ever I longed for a t.v.! The Fugitive is how Richard and I became Richard. As in, Richard Kimble, as in "I didn't kill my wife" Richard, as in "I know it, Richard. I know it."

Think of me when our special scene comes up, Richard.
