house furnishings. A person who can take a walk with you and doesn't care if you pass gas along the way. A person who might get upset if you fall asleep while they are talking to you, but forgives you really fast. A person who can snore as loud as you. A person who tells you everything will be all right, even though you know it probably won't be. And a person who shares the same three children and three grandchildren with you. Yep! My "BFF" is my loverly wife, Carol. You know you can have a wife and a "BFF" who are the same person! I DO!!! How's that for a love letter Susan? It was an extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

The "BFF" Story
It was an ordinary day. I'm looking at pictures of our recent vacation to Antigua and thinking. That's always dangerous, isn't it? I'm thinking of all the great friends Carol and I have. Some have passed away over the years, but others are still spending time with us and keeping us happy. Mostly happy! Our friends Pat and Dale have been friends since I played with Dale in the APBA League which I formed. APBA is a board game invented by a fellow in Lancaster, PA, but is played by baseball enthusiasts all over the world. That's at least 30 years ago now. Our friends Jerry and Sue seem to have been around forever. Jerry and I go back to being friends in 1st grade. We share our vacations and visits to each other. I have many friends from my career in teaching from colleagues to former students. My wife has a friend who she met when they were in the hospital, both having their first child, and have been friends ever since. I'm sure everyone can name a few good friends, but do you have a "BFF?" That being a Best Friend Forever! Who is your BFF? Mine would be a person who enjoys doing everything I like to do. A person who tells me what they like and don't like about me. What color I look good in and what type of clothes to wear. What not to say so I don't embarrass myself and what to say to make a good impression. A person who doesn't laugh at me if I cry with them in the movies, but does laugh when I say or do something even though it may not be funny. A person who enjoys the same type of food, weather, flowers, vacation destinations and
