Happy Birthday Chachi!

I interrupt my usual Bear Down Sunday posting with something much more important.  Today, Chuck "Chachi" Gekas (not to be confused with Chuck "Cuzz" Gekas) is celebrating his birthday.
The older I get, the more I value family and friends.  Chachi is like both to me.  You can also add a bunch of other titles, like mentor and probably even psychiatrist.
Today I want to take the opportunity to wish Chachi a great birthday and to also express my appreciation for his friendship.  Where is Andrew Gold and his "Thank You for Being a Friend" music?
As you celebrate with your awesome family today, know that somewhere I will be raising a frosty Coke to you today!  Happy birthday, Chachi and thank you for being my friend.
