Happy Birthday to Bob Church!!
Bob Church is the father of my girlfriend Kristin. He will be celebrating his 61st birthday today and with quite a circus of friends and family around him (including my own parents and sisters). We are all up here in Moberly, Missouri and it will be quite a day to remember (I brought the camera for the parts of the day I’m unable to remember due to alcohol consumption). Bob has been diagnosed with multiple forms of cancer and has been on chemotherapy for the last 2 months. It has been a very difficult time for all of us who know him. The above picture was taken by me back in July while he, his daughters and I played a game of Spades.
His true passion, second to his family of course, is writing. As mentioned before (and linked permanently to the left in my “blogroll”), he has quite a blog full of brilliant short stories, humorous tall tales and exquisite poetry that you can find here:

If you didn’t visit it before, I encourage you to do so right now and leave him your best comments and birthday wishes. And while you’re there, you might want to purchase a copy of this magazine that Bob has been published in:
Trust me, it’s worth the money.
