29 and holding...

as most of you know, this week, 29 years ago a creature was borne...he was not borne in swaddling clothes, nor lain in a manger...wasn't of virgin birth, or on the verge of escaping to another country to avoid being murdered by a ridonkulous* king...he didn't even have three shepherds that followed a star for three years only to show up at his mickey mouse birthday party (with which he shared with his twin sister)...the magi were absent as well- but who would give a 3 year old frankincense? seriously?

no, this creature was lowly though...and took on the form of a swimmer...by which means he one day grew up and met another swimmer in the form of a future wife...several years later, (last june), they discovered they were with child...hence, the cycle of humanity...

beautiful isn't it? so joe- happy 29th birthday...and happy 1st birthday of being a father...dude, i am crying right now...
