the man stood, in deep thought, on the edge of the diving board....

for longer than was needed ....
contemplating the dive....
would he dive, head first, into the blue water ??
or
would he jump, like a kid, feet first, into the cold, wet depths ??
would his dogs jump in after him ??
WOULD HIS PARTNER JOIN IN ??

and......
for god's sake....
WHAT ABOUT THE CLOSING THIS AFTERNOON ??
would they cancel ??
postpone ??
would he get his check ??
would they serve BIRTHDAY CAKE at the closing ???
would the other agents be as jealous as ever of his
""FABULOUS NESS""??
a CHECK and a BIRTHDAY CAKE !!!!
he was indeed a LUCKY GUY !!!
he had everything !!
LOVE,
a swimming pool,
gorgeous friends ! :}}}
, doggies,
 and a KICK ASS career !!

life was GOOD !!!!
he could hear one of those
 RED, HAMPTONS BIRDS
singing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY".....

for michael......with love on his birthday.....xox
