Today is my buddy Howard's birthday. He lives in FL and at one point in the past, we were roomies while I made trip after trip to Denver to find the house I would eventually buy.
Howard is one of the rare individuals that is as neat and picky about things being neat as I am. Howard can cook like no tomorrow. Which was a good thing cause I can't cook to save my life. Howard would catch the pesky little gecko's that invaded his condo day and night. I would try to catch them, but end up pissed off and yelling at them instead.
Howard was and is one of the best buddies I've ever had and definitely one of the bestest roomies I've ever had. Shortly after I moved to Denver, Howard got a new roomie. And a month later, emailed the following :
You are the Official Winner!!
Hi Kath!
I just wanted to say thank you for the Publix gift card, I am greatful for the ten buckaroos!
I also wanted to let you know that though R is a nice roomate (now that her kid no longer jumps on the sofa), you are the clear winner for roomate of the year award. I am not saying she is a slob, but she is no you... and she doesn't do my laundry, though she did fold it once and that was a crappy job.
tt u later
So happy birthday, buddy! I miss you like crazy and wish you (and Renee) would come visit!
