I do not have a theory about this, but I will say that when Richard was born--37 years ago today--he had lots of hair. Today he hasn't much. What ought to follow here is a story about someone born bald who now has lots of hair. I have no such story.
About Richard, however, he was beautiful at birth and is still handsome--dark eyes, dark hair.
He also has lots of brain and he knows how to use it. Someone once told me that babies come with hair or brains. Someone who most likely didn't really know but was just repeating one of those silly sayings, something she'd heard. I'm pretty sure we all knew Richard had good brains before he lost his hair.
He has lots of goodness in him and a loving heart. I know this to be true.
He has a good bit of wit and wisdom, an artist's way of seeing things, an eye for detail, a great deal of talent, and a sense of humor that betrays his penchant for the outlandish. If I were on Facebook, I'd get to see more of his outlandishness.
He has opinions. And why not? He's 37. And, oh yes, he too is a natural-born teacher.
He has the unstopped and unstoppable love of his mother.

I sometimes wonder why you didn't do a post for my birthday. Maybe you said it all when I got married.
Richard is cool.
