Yesterday was Michael Gallagher's 63rd birthday. Everyone was busy yesterday, but Ermanno DeGrassi & I plotted and got a surprise party planned for him for today.
Michael has always been a bit "down" about his birthday - apparently, the day doesn't always go according to plan, and celebrating himself was not something he's keen on doing. So, we took it away from him, completely surprised him, and he had a blast!
After the initial, "SURPRISE!' and all of us jumping out, Michael started with the thanks and then the gifts. He could not believe that we pulled this off.
Everyone got a chance to say hello, visit, eat and enjoy. Michael waxed poetic while we enjoyed our meals, and then he was horribly embarrassed when he learned that he even got a cake.
There was cigars, billiards and horseshoes for the rest of the evening, and then Mother Nature dazzled us with a brilliant display of lightening.
He was totally surprised AND he was happy to learn that he really didn't need to work on Ermanno's trailor today.
