How do I love thee, let me count the ways.
(Even though there are far more than thirty-two of them, in honor of thirty-two action packed years, here are just a few of the reasons I love Gordon Keith Risser III)

How do you love GK?

Well, I must say I love his taste in women (specifically ONE woman- his wife). His quirky sense of humor- have you ever seen the video he made in high school? I also like his voice (raspy is cool- am I biased? think so). I love that he loves being a dad. I love that he can look outside the box. I love his curiosity about a bigger world. You go GK and Susanna! Congrats.
barf. one more post like that and i'm never reading this thing again.
Oh... and happy birthday GK.
Syd,
When we got to Cherryl's cousin's place in Vermont, one of the first things they did was haul out the "Hello Vermont" video you described. They have kept it all these years. I don't even have a copy any more, but Susanna got to see it and we all had a laugh.
Suz,
It was great to spend the time with you both this week. We love that you love him - and Mini Van too.
Oh, yeah....happy b-day GK
Andy loves GK's eyes too.....
