Happy Birthday Dave

There are a lot of great people who were born on today's date.  Stone Cold Steve Austin.  Ty Cobb.  Keith Richards.  Dave Blais.  Steven Spielberg.  I happen to be related to one of them.  Today my brother-in-law Dave celebrates his birthday.
Dave is a great guy and deserves to be center stage here today.  (Besides...the usual Sunday feature of the Bears is better left unwritten...but I digress).
I have known Dave for about 20 years.  He's Nanc's husband, but he is more like a friend, than just a brother-in-law to me.  We've had a lot of fun together, including one crazy ride to the Rockford airport (when I was delayed in traffic getting to their house, causing us to barely make the flight).  He is also a faithful reader of Johngy's Beat and my Global Traveler blog (cheap plugs).
It is a big birthday for Dave, too.  Should I reveal just how big?  Well, maybe I'll just say he is certainly younger than Ty Cobb.  He is also younger than Richards and Spielberg.  Stone Cold is a wee bit younger though.  Perhaps I should have included Filipino-born American singer Renaldo Lapuz on my earlier list.
Anyway, back to the real point.  I want to wish Dave a happy birthday.  I hope it's a great day!
