Todays is the birthday of my longtime pal Chuck. While I will see him later this month, today I raise a toast to him here.
I have known Chuck for more than 30 years. When we worked together, our mutual love of sports, trivia, chess, Scrabble and office garbageball bonded us. Over the years, Chuck has been a mentor, colleague, friend and brother. It is said you should surround yourself with quality people and Chuck definitely is a quality person.
A part-time magician, Chuck has delighted fans for years. More importantly, he has donated countless hours entertaining children in hospitals. For this alone, he would have my undying respect.
As I mentioned seeing him shortly, Chuck and I will be attending a magic show at Cosmic Underground, a magic and entertainment venue co-owned by Kayla Drescher, who I interviewed on Global Traveler a while back. I wanted to see a show there since it opened earlier this year and Chuck was the perfect person to attend with me. Our schedules finally cooperated and we are going next Friday.
For now though, I wish a happy birthday to the man I call Chachi. I hope it is magical!
