Hey MIke

As this day winds down, let's say this about the magnificent Mr Mike:

* He knows more about Elvis Costello than any human has a right to know

* He's currently way ahead on the Movie List competition

* He's as good with a one-liner as any man alive, and never fails to make me smile

* He calls the girls of #squeeze "dames" - I like that

* He has no blog, but can come up with dozens of blog topics at a time

* He stayed on the phone with Stennie, Eric, and I on New Year's Day for around 2 hours - and said maybe 25 words.

* He has an interesting work schedule - work one day, off two days, work one day, off five days

* He Loves "Freaks and Geeks" and Bill Haverchuck as much as I do

* He knows every song ever recorded, because he has every record ever made

* He personally numbered #23: "Wait - where are you going? I was gonna make espresso."

* He is always being way too cute for the girls

* He thinks "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro is the worst song ever written (and rightly so)

* He was born upon this very day.

Happy Birthday, Mike-O!
