the eternity stick, bacon and Chris' 30th Birthday

Saturday night Chris faced more than a fear of immortal gays and Tina with no bacon. He faced his 30th Birthday (with a smile) and our longest friendship...I've known Chris for 25 years.

On a a sunny day in 1981, thus began my "plot" to "make" Chris gay. The way he tells it I achieved this by "forcing" him to play with barbies and my little pony. However, I also remember actually forcing Chris to play outside, on the big wheel and in the dirt with bugs (which even as a 5 yr old Chris regarded as "icky"). So I feel assured that it had nothing to do with my lack of a barbie partner.

Some other great things happened in 1981...

The 1st launch of a space shuttle
Prince Charles and Diana Spencer marry on July 29
Luke and Lauras's Wedding (General Hospital), Most watched wedding in history next to Charles and Diana.
Dynasty premiers in primetime hours and becomes a hit
Pac-Man is introduced in the US and sparks a huge craze.
August 1, The birth of MTV, the 24 hour-a-day music television station

I will be adding photos of chris age 5 as soon as possible...
