But I do appreciate the kind comments for John?s poem and we all know John is one of the nicest guys ever, so I just knew he?d understand. So thanks again, my dear friend. Love, Debi

Fantastic. While reading this I felt like I was driving down the backroads of my childhood town. This has a fun and happy ring to it. Chef's ay? Very cool!

This is a heartfelt poem and a worthy tribute to "John". An eloquent piece that describes him well. My cousin is a baseball player (Kris Bryant who currently plays for the Colorado Rockies) and his dad coached him and his brother since they were little kids, so I enjoyed reading this.

    Hi there Yusita, that is so cool that your cousin is a famous ball player. We have the same kind of thing where my best friend?s cousin is TJ Hopkinson that plays for the MN Vikings in the state where I live.

Debi, I am out of sixes for you and John. Happy Birthday, John! I have enjoyed John's stories and his reviews this past year. I grew up a Yankee fan, mostly because we didn't have any baseball teams in Texas when I was a kid.

Your poem is excellent, as always, and John's writing is always fun. Well done. Terry.

Happy Birthday, John!

I'm unsure what we'd do without you, Debi! You're like the birthday Siri for all of FS. LOL.

Some folks I know and some I don't, but I appreciate every moment of guidance to make a new friend or perhaps read a new portfolio. Best, JohnC

One of his sons is the head chef at the Casa Monica Hotel here in St. Augustine - very upscale hotel where all the celebrities and wealthy stay when they are here.

Yes, he cooks, and writes often about it.

I'm aware that he's a Yankees fan; I'm a Red Sox fan, so that's the only thing I'll hold against him, LOL!

John, happy birthday. I hope you have a great, great day.

Thanks, Debi:-)

Nice to see a different shape, Debi. Showing your skills and versatility. The sports theme that runs through this works so well. Rhyme and rhythm and sense all perfectly executed.
