Happy Birthday Twins!

Yes Happy Birthday you crazy puddin-head twins!!! Born Monday, September 23, 1957, Mark arrived at 7:11 AM and Mary showed-up at 7:14 AM.
Here's to you Mark Allen Joseph and Mary Ellen.

What a combo. We tore it up, had a good run, sliced, diced, peeled and pounced on life together. The twin-ness made life pretty interesting and full of special stuff, happy to say; were treated to extra goodness, extra fun, extra love and extra-ordinary times together. I'll never forget you brother. I'm thinking of you today and of course recall many moments you and I lived-out in such a way... not time nor space can take away.

Alvin and Chipmunks featuring David Seville, ah yes those were the days of hanging around the record player with a nickle holding down the needle to keep it from skipping as Alvin, Theadore, Simon and ring leader David sang their way through The Witch Doctor with little Mark and Mary listening and playing that wild, wacky number over and over and over again. Pure gold! Pure magic! Puro (pure) Fun for the twins!!!

aye, que maria elena....what a writer you are. Loved the description of your life with your twin, so eloquently stated--I read it out loud to Barry and we both got a chuckle and I got a little choked up as well. Your always a treat to read.
