Happy 60th birthday to my dad!
The man responsible in large part for my sense of humor and love of the absurd, who (with lots of help from mom, I’m quite sure) put up with quite a lot of tomfoolery and immaturity as I tried to figure out this whole “growing up” thing over the years, who passed on his love of books, and many many other things — not least of which was teaching me somersaults — is entering his sixth decade.
Pretty darn cool.
Happy birthday, dad.
I love you.

I don’t think I ever met your dad, but just had to say – any dad willing to do somersaults with his kid must be a wonderful guy. Happy Birthday!!!
I love you, too, kid!
