My great good friend Felipe's Birthday is Tomorrow.
Some of you know him, the rest of you should.
I have had the pleasure of knowing this gentile giant of a man,
for quite some years now, I have employed him here at the Ranch
since day one, and I should be paying him for life's lessons, plus
a paycheck. He shows up at 7 am, at the latest 7;02 leaves at 5 pm
or 6 or 7 pm, as long as he thinks is necessary to satisfy daily progress to his satisfaction. I try to stay out of his way, his way is better than
mine by far. Weekend evenings, he is Bartender, Host,
Cashier, Bean counter, turn out the lights the party's over,time to go home folks,[including me!] All done with a ear to ear warm smile
and handshakes all around. He sometimes doubles as Father confessor
too some of us needy!
This is probably this most serious post that will make till his Birthday
next year. So, if your inclined, raise a glass to this Gentile Man,
as I will, Good Health, Felipe, Feliz Cumplianos my Brother.
