Happy Birthday!

My Dad turned 58 yesterday. He’s an engineer and currently works apart from the family in Saudi Arabia. I remember when I was a lot smaller we were all sitting down one weekend afternoon for a nice lunch of hot dogs. I started choking. My Dad called 911, started the Heimlich Maneuver (abdominal thrusts!), and a minute or so later, out popped the chunk of meat that had been plugging my trachea.

So, Thanks Dad: Not just for giving me life, saving my life, and raising me into a man, but thanks for just being here. Happy Birthday!
