Dale and John

[Linda]

Happy Birthday, guys!!! Searat was yesterday, Dale is today... Sorry I am late with yours, John, hope it was a happy day.

How does it feel to have birthdays near Christmas?? Probably no sweat now, but did it bother you as a kid...?

I remember when I was a kid, my birthday is in February, and my grandma would sometimes ask me during the Christmas celebration... she would say, "So... what do you want for your birthday?" Ha. I would think to myself, gee, I just got all these nice presents for Christmas, and I could never think of anything I wanted besides! Funny, cause we didn't get that much, either, but it was always enough for me.

Anyway... Happy birthday to both of you!

Thanks Linda. I was supposed to be born on Christmas, but lucky for me was born a week early. I never felt slighted, but as a kid it was a bummer getting all your presents at one time of year. Yesterday was my 50th birthday, so I celebrated in vintage diver fashion. I went to the local lake and did a 50 ft dive for 50 minutes in 50 degree water with a 50 year old DA Aquamaster! Hopefully that will start my 50's off right.

Happy birthday to John, we're Facebook friends so I got him there. I never knew our B-days were so close.

Happy Birthday Dale & John! ;D

Wow that is awesome! I'll be 50 on my next birthday... I'll have to think of something special to mark the day, although I doubt I could think of anything as creative as what you did - that's impressive!
