E.V. Ritz,

Sooooo, you're getting old. It's okay though because, let's be honest, you are probably better looking as an old dude than you were as a young dude, JK. 

There are so many ways that my life is better because of you.  Coming home from a mission with a built-in best buddy was pretty sweet. I might not have come through that as such a freaking cool chick if it wasn't for you.

Having a travel companion with me to go back to the motherland was also a huge bonus.  That flight was sooooo long. Pretending we were getting engaged in order to appease the man, the legend, President Munday, was also a pretty funny highlight in my book. Remember the look on the APs faces. LOL!!  

Your taste in music is pretty cool too! I remember seeing your Bad Religion tat and knowing then and there that we were going to be friends!!  I still have the signed Bad Religion mini mag you sent me.  It is a treasure that only cool people, like you, understand.

You sort of saved my life when I broke up with my fiance, who, by the way, is now fat and balding (YES!!).  You drove all the way down to Oceanside to hang out with me and seriously, I think it was THE THING that helped me get through it. You have always been a very loyal friend! 

We may have lost touch a bit the last few years, cause life is seriously out of control when there are small children involved, but you will always be one of my favorite people, 4-eva!! Til death do us part:)

Don't forget about me, old man. Happy Birthday!!!! 

Ta ra a bit,

Jarves

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY FRED!!! Dear Dear Fred, How in the world can you be 40???!!! I’m SO glad that you were born and came into our lives. I’m not exactly sure of the day I actually got to meet you back in the fall of 1993. I do know that you met our Greg very shortly after we moved into our house on the now infamous Franwood Drive. I know that you met Greg when he walked down Franwood to join your game of hide and seek. I also know that you welcomed him and became best friends very quickly. I remember so many times you and the rest of the guys were hanging out at our house….causing ruckus, swimming, listening to music, playing video games, skate boarding, laughing, joking around and creating a bond that continues to be a special part of each of our lives. Little did I know at the time how very important you would be to us. Oh, those days were so fun. You guys playing crazy weird games out front running up and down the street. You’d make the Franwood Riots chasing, tackling, kicking, dog...

Fred, In my eyes, you are the greatest human being on the face of the earth. You are my greatest and truest friend. You have a gift of helping others have the confidence to be brave, be themselves, laugh and see the beauty in everything around them. The lens in which you view life is contagious and makes others want to be around you all the time.  I learn from you everyday and you are the smartest person I know. The kids will often ask me questions about science, history, physics, math... that I don't know the answer to. I don't know why they keep asking me when most of the time I don't have answers for them. But I always say, "Dad would probably know, ask him" and almost every time, you know the answer. Or on the rare occasion you don't, you invite the kids to learn with you. You're such a dynamic, interesting person who seems to know so much. After all, you are very superior.  And your very superior brain has been able to financially support a family of ...
