    Are they twins?  Or is it more like a larry, darryl and darryl kinda deal?

    Happy Birthday regardless.

    @YoukonRon Ron I seem to remember a story you told about what it meant to you having your birthday on the 4th of July. But my brain cells have been wash away with a bit of Bourbon as I get older and can't recall it.

    Surprise! Happy Birthday Ron 
    Thank you for the kindness. I have had some "WTF" experiences in my life, but this one, captured in the image you have posted, is the most hilarious ever. My sides hurt for days from laughing both maniacal and hysterical as hard as anyone human ever could.
    I treasure your friendship.

    You are right. I am the third Darryl, nobody wants to talk about, though.

    Thank you for the kindness, I appreciate it more than you know. 

    I hope you enjoy your day.

    Well, it was likely written with a wine soaked brain at the time so we both are even.

    I will say, having served and traveled abroad, as many of us in this forum have, coming home to this great country is a very special and humbling moment for me. I feel fortunate to share this date with the greatest country on earth.

    Robin, as always, I appreciate your friendship more than you can fathom. There are very few things left that I am not older than. Like dirt.
    Happy to be here my friend.

    Thanks 'Cap. I did try to run, but I was still limping a bit. It was more like "step drag, step drag...." 
    I was neither fast or agile, but just able to move.
    You have been a friend and mentor. Thank you for all you have done for me and my cooking game. 
    Padres at the Indians, I will enjoy.
    Have a happy 4th, careful with the LEO.
