I consider MSKS the master at creating the A-Z list for other people's birthdays. In fact, I probably shouldn't even attempt to create one for HER birthday, since my creative juices don't flow quite as nicely as hers.
Still, June 16 is a special day. My oldest friend, Mary Straton (better known as "MSKS"), was born this day 28 years ago. I've been friends with MSKS longer than any other friend (26 years to be exact), and although our differences quite possibly outweigh our similarities, we're still the best of friends. Life without MSKS would be such a bore.
So, MSKS, even though my list won't be nearly as good as the list you created for me a few months ago, please know that I'm giving it my best shot! :)

happy b-day, msks! Remember when Laura slammed your finger in the door? Or was it Laura's finger? I also remember Otter Pops and Doug on Nikalodian in Destin.
Fun times.
(I made a goof on my previous post; sorry about that!) Anyway, what I WANTED to say was Happy Birthday, Mary Straton! I have many memories of you and Laura over the years. One of my favorites was when you told me (in a very serious tone) that Harris was sick. When I asked what was wrong, you said she "had the vomits!" I guess that was before you had an aversion to the word! Have a great day!
