Sheer happenstance brought you a lifetime of joy, bliss, intrigue and (don't forget) travel. When I was younger I just wanted to meet that one special woman and live (the proverbial) happily ever after. Didn't quite work out (by light years!). I do wish that I could've met you way back and shared a gentlemanly handshake. Maybe some of that luck you had might have rubbed off.

Congratulations, DFW! You're an inspiration. And, the next time you're with your lovely wife and daughters give them a big congratulatory Heavy Metal hug from me! Because you rock, ya lucky ol' bastard!
