Confidential to ET: Happy Birthday!


Just a quick shout-out to my dear friend ET. Your 50th birthday came and went, and I wasn't there to celebrate with you. Looks like I missed another party-of-the-year at your place.

You've been on my mind all weekend...50 is a big deal. LT knows a little something about that, hope she's showing you the ropes.

ET, you were my very first friend in Seattle. I can't imagine what my life would be like if our paths hadn't crossed. You've brought such laughter to my life, and you've showed me more about God than you'll ever know. Your irreverent sense of humor, your ability to cut to the chase and get to the heart of the matter, and your storytelling all make you priceless to me.

You introduced me to the fantasticness of single-malt Scotch. You've cooked some of your most amazing feasts for me to enjoy. You've been with me for all the Sacramental moments in my life. And your family has become my family.

In short, I can't imagine my life without you. Thank you for being my friend.

Wishing you many indies, fine Scotch, and endless apple pies in your new year of life.
Happy Belated 50th, ET!
