Flying Boar

Last night we all went to the Sushi House to celebrate my birthday. Five couples sitting around a half-sunken square table in a small room, eating raw fish (among other not-so-raw dishes), and laughing, a lot. And not only at Mark’s presents; to Adam, a walking, nodding giraffe; for me, a flying boar. Yes, Diane loved the pun.



If boars could fly

On the way to the restaurant from Hubbarston, Jan penned this poem:

A Summary of Michael

Mike’s the best husband and dad
Diane and Matt have ever had.

He’s done many kinds of work,
but each of his bosses was a jerk.

He did respiratory therapy and helped people breathe,
but hospital rules always made him seethe.

He’s very creative at web design
an old BMW he tried to align.

He can build a deck or fix a wreck,
but camping and hiking are more to his liking!

While playing poker he likes to bluff,
at Queijo’s pond he swims in the buff.

He’s always willing to help a friend,
you have something broken?
He’ll try to mend.

He’s a sneaky refrigerator raider.
He’s small but has a mouth like a gator.

With his curly red hair and sparkle in his eyes,
you’re never quite sure if he’s telling you lies!

He likes to talk about feelings,
which leaves both Marks' brains a reeling.

If we all look as young when we’re 57,
Trust me Mike, we’ll be in heaven.

During dinner Adam assembled:

They ate 'til they could eat no more
Sushi, shumai, and gyoza galore
But the night was a drag
Until out of a bag
Came our savior -- a hip, flying boar!

Mike and Dan both wore teal blue
Nice coincidence -- but an eye-assault, too.....
And we made lots of noise
Over drinks and cool toys
Ten good friends, and one birthday fool!

How I wish I had been the one to give you the Flying Boar!!!!!
