Amazing Person #1

I have a very dear friend who lives in Chicago. He is truly one of the coolest people I've ever met. I'm going to give him a nickname here, but I have to tell you a little bit about him first. He and I met through a mutual friend and hit it off instantly. He is one of those people that can instigate bouts of side-splitting laughter in me easier than most...not that it's difficult for anyone, mind you (I'm a giggler), but he's just one of those people that is funny without really even trying. On top of his sheer talents as an accidental comedian, he has quite a story.

IT'S A BOY!!!!

I AM BEYOND THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I WILL WELCOME
MY FIRST NEPHEW
TO THE WORLD IN AUGUST!!!

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of my nieces, but I cannot wait to have a little prince in the family. And BELIEVE ME he will be treated as such.
I called my dad yesterday - who shall heretofore be referred to as BG - to share in the PURE JOY of this news and wasn't able to reach him. Never fear. He always calls right back, but rarely leaves a message. Clearly, he was overcome with exuberance, and left me the following message:
CLASSIC BG
To know him is to love him.
Let's be very clear - THIS IS NOT MY CHILD. I AM NOT PREGNANT. But anyone who knows me can tell you, I am one of the world's biggest doting aunts. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL AUGUST!!
No doubt, there will be lots of BG antics to come, but now you, at least, have a little taste. :)

Beasley

Let me tell you a little something about my best bud. His name is Beasley. He'll be 4 in June. He is black and white. He loves me unconditionally and is always happy to see me...and everyone else. All he wants in life is to be near me and occasionally some food, water, and a squeaky toy.
