double golden

golden birthdays are a special thing in our world, so a double golden should be double special.

how do i make it special for the man who loves me the way no one else ever could?
                   
do i list all of the loves of his life so as to describe how truly spectacular he is?
                 like chocolate, our kids, sailing, laughing & me

do i say how truly lucky i am to have someone with so many talents?
                 like woodworking, asking what do you need me to do at always the right time & balancing

do i pay tribute to him with a song? he loves parodies so maybe something like a meet virginia
                           he's great at compromises
                           loathes ice and surprises
                           wears a do-rag 
                              when he exercises 
                           meet the tony 

                 ok, so that does not really do him justice and is completely lame.


so I will just quote the lovely man himself...

"i am happy to have had this past year with you. anything else i want to say to you i will say face to face (or nose to nose if you prefer)   
written in my 1995 yearbook

Happy Birthday Tony.
