Happy Birthday Pat!

On this day, a
number of years ago, a great American was born. My friend, Pat.

Fortunately, Pat is not prone to violence since the free knife she got during our trip to Mammoth Cave (see photo) was pretty disappointing. But looking at this picture made me laugh,, just like I did when I took it. That trip spawned many fun stories, including the trip to Big Mike's House of Mystery. Oh, and we went into the caves too.

Pat has been an integral part of many fun adventures.

Trips to Frankenmuth, Mammoth Cave and the pickle factory, come to mind.

During one road trip, I learned that Pat once lost her cowboy boots while flying a kite. How many people do you know who can brag about something like that? 

In honor of Pat's birthday, I'm asking all of you to fly a kite, wear cowboy boots, or eat a pickle (not code).

Happy Birthday, Pat! We miss you!
