Happy Birthday Garney!

Today is Garney’s birthday. He’s exactly 50 weeks older than me, which probably has something to do with us basically being the same person. I knew of Garney before I ever actually met him. A mutual friend would tell us about each other and how much we had in common. When I finally spent some time with Garney, I realized that friend was right. We spent hours playing movie trivia games (I was, at the time, the only person to ever beat him at the game we played. Irreconcilable Differences is his kryptonite), talking about movies (Garney has total recall of who won every major Academy Award…ever) and even seeing movies on occasion (he said to me recently, “Man... how did we go see both Romeo and Juliet and Titanic together and never hook up?” A mystery of the ages, for sure). Not much has changed in the 10+ years we’ve been friends. Now we just talk about movies over g-chat.

Since Garney is one of my favorite humans ever, won’t you please join me in wishing him a very happy birthday?
