Happy Colintine's Day

 Cue 

the balloons, 

noisemakers 

and 

cake bakers.


It’s Colin’s Birthday...


enter stage right.




Wait, 

maybe it's ...

stage left?


For some reason 

I get "stage right” and

 “stage left” 

 jumbo jumbled.


Is it Colin’s right...on stage? 

Audience right? 

But, what if you are right handed,

and eat left handed

hmmm?




Colin has explained the difference to me and 

it makes sense 

but when he says …

”meet you after the show stage right" 

I nod like I know…

but it doesn’t add up 

to any cents.


I do much better with 

backstage.

backstage @ the Grand Ole Opry



Anywhoooo…..


If you know, you know...

today is officially 

Colintine's Day...

Colin’s birthday and Valentine’s Day

packaged together.


His birthday is a birthday/valentine combo...


kinda like a McDonald's

Happy Meal combo

with a bucket of fun.



We have sooooo

many Colin stories through the years...

 the other day  

PaulA reminisced about the morning when 

Colin was in high school 

and about to take the dreaded

SAT test for college.

Before PaulA dropped Colin for the test

 he told Colin

  the word 

"Enigma" 

had been on his test and 

explained the meaning.


After the test, 

we asked Colin how he did...

Colin smiled 

and said,  

"Well, I know I got one right...

"Enigma" 

was on the test."




Happy Colintine's day 

to the guy with the birthDAY 

who always

makes our Valentine's Day 


extra sweet and memorable...

and who brings the 

L-O-V-E 



to the guy who grew up to find his love for music

in the 5th grade 




and 


the guy 

who followed that passion of... 


playing music 



and songwriting.




Whether Colin enters

stage right 

or 

stage left……


on 

Colintine's Day 

he is 

center stage. 




And it is no 

enigma that 

Colin 

is

center stage 

in  my heart

my blond hair bowl cut baby





today and forever.
