Today is the birthday of the “Kings of Hearts” from our “Full House“, which also has a King of Spades, a serious and committed 5 year-old boy.
Siding along with the duo of kings, we’ve got three queens: “Queen of Hearts“, pairing with the celebrating King, and apparently the one in charge of anything “household-related”, making sure all parts and processes are in place. Our “Queen of Diamonds“, aka, “drama queen” is a 3-year old going on 13. For the last one, our “Queen of Clubs“, the jury is still out there – we’re not sure yet how she’d embrace her role as part of this full house…
Today our King of Hearts turns 36. He’s almost departing from the house of the 30s. I’m sure it’s been a good and fun journey for him. In four years he’ll be joining his Queen of Hearts, and together they’ll rule the house of the 40s…
From my humble heart to “His Majesty’s”, with all my love,
Happy Birthday, Leonel!

Happy Belated, Chico. I can say for sure that you’re leaving a good impression on at least one person!!! Once I finish trying to figure out the square root of pi, I’ll try to remember who that is 🙂 Happy Birthday from Craig, Heidi, and Norah.

Chico! Aloha from Namibia! So happy that you have survived another trip around the sun with a loving wife and kids around you. It’s been decades (scary!) since that first drop-trou salute but I am sending you another one from across the globe. Hope to see you in Brazil sometime this year or next – or let me know when you come stateside. Have a great (late) birthday and a pint or three on me.
Love – sucks
