I loved meeting your husband through your eyes! What a great tribute.
A fabulous list of all that is Ken. From my perspective, I would only add that he is hilarious. He has a very intelligent sense of humor -- not silly and goofy. Just truly smart and funny. I can't wait for our get togethers because I know there will always be something classically funny that Ken says that Keith and I will laugh about for months to come.
Happy Birthday Ken!
Pelligrino with lime is our drink of choice over here. What a fun list.
That is awesome! Only 5 were news, but not surprises, to me. (water, namesake, racing shcool, pie tie, and hair)I'm sure you all had a wonderful day!
And amen to Kelly.
PS Ken if you are reading, are you embarrassed yet?
This was enjoyable to read, happy birthday to Ken!
