#1 Nicest Thing

I'm thinking this is more of a entire body of work of nice things, but this goes to my sister Linda. She used to work as the promotions director for the local ESPN radio station in Milwaukee (1510). As I clear Chicago on my drive back to Milwaukee for the holidays, I start to pick up the Milwaukee station. My sister calls and says Pat McCurdy (a local guy who does a music/comedy type thing in Milwaukee, and he's very popular... I used to go see him back in school!) is going to be on the air. As I'm listening, my sister tells them that it's my birthday, and Pat makes up a birthday song for me and sings it on the radio! I have a clip of it here (it's about one minute long).

Linda has also done numerous other really nice things for me, including:

1. Planning a graduation party (including the tent, the invitations, and ordering the food)
2. Getting a bunch of Green Bay Packers from the '96 Superbowl team to sign hats for me

And much more.

Just goes to show how blessed I am for what wonderful friends I have, and these are just the top 5. There's a whole long tail of stuff people have done for me, things like keeping up with my job search, helping me with my dating life (i.e Dave and his BCS ranking method), continuing to encourage me in all of my goals, inviting me to dinners, etc. I hope to do the same for all of you!
