Friday 5 & Happy B-Day John!

Friday, Jan. 16, 2004 - 12:40 a.m.

Today is my husband's 50th birthday.

John McLaughlin is a man of infinite patience, and even more infinite strength. When it comes to me, there are things he's overlooked and things he's accepted and things he's forgiven me for -- and I'm grateful every day for the fact that this man has chosen to bear the world's burdens by my side.

Thank you, John. I love you.

This week's Friday Five: (Questions are boldface, my answers appear beneath.)

What does it say in the signature line of your emails?

A: Just my name and the URL for Diaryland.

Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?

A: We didn't do that at my high school, but if we had, I would have chosen the following quote from the Paul Simon song: "Though I stand tried and convicted by a jury of my peers, still crazy after all these years." And the reason I would have chosen that is because I was a nerd and the popular kids never let me forget it.

If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?

A: I don't even own a car, but if I did and could get a v.p., mine would either say DST BNY or PHX RSN.

Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?

A: Nope. Sorry.

What would you like your epitaph to be?

A: "Somebody tell a joke."

Okay. Now, if you wanna play Friday Five, go here.
