Happy Birthday Shana!!!!

Posted By on April 18, 2009

My eldest stepdaughter turned 28 today. She shared this birthday with Keith DeCanido who turned 40 today.

I first met Shana when she was about 10. It was the first time I met Peter too. I taught her and Peter how to operate a hand and rod puppet at an Atlanta Fantasy Fair.

She has a beautiful singing voice and a quirky sense of humor. My favorite original song of hers is entitled “Peanut butter and Jelly” which is a love song strangely enough kind of sort of.

Her life changed a lot in the last year. She got married last year to a wonderful guy named Tim (insert your Monty Python joke here). They moved from Florida to an undisclosed location (only because she asked me to. Witness protection and all…I kid. I kid because I love).

So Happy Birthday Shana! I hope you had a grand day. Just FYI, Ariel has been trying to call you and your voice mail insists you don’t exist so please call her. Thanks.

    No Python jokes re: Tim, please — it’s a lovely name, in my completely unbiased opinion. 🙂

    I didn’t know that Keith D’s birthday was yesterday — that means he is precisely one day older than my wife.

    And happy birthday to Shana!

    My onliest step daughter will be turning … ummm … twenty-five in about two weeks.

    Kate and i have two lovely grand daughters, one three and one one (both with January birthdays about a week apart, i told Helen she missed…)

    Having grand kids without having to put up with kids of your own till they’re eighteen or so is wonderful…
