One of my most favorite people EVER is having a significant birthday today... Simply saying Happy Birthday to Cory Berry just isn't enough! So, here ya go, Honey... It's your very own Top Ten of Why Cory Berry is the Coolest Person I Know:
10. Placing rubber duckies in, literally, every public body of water in Huntsville (Big Spring Park, Braham Springs) in one very long night!
9. Never seen without Chuck's on your feet.
8. Eagle Scout! I will never forget going with you to finish your last Eagle requirement (watching a sunrise on Green Mountain; I don't get up THAT early for just anyone!)
7. Sitting upside down in physics class ALL. THE. TIME. and still making better grades than me... Praise the Lord you were my lab partner!
6. Dying your hair blue as an incentive to your Scout Troop.
5. Treadmills and coke bottles in Jennifer Sobotka Price's apartment... And that's all I have to say about that...
4. Growing out a mullet (just like the one you had in high school) when you were in your late 30's so that you could donate the hair to Locks of Love. You helped raise awareness with that mullet that everyone can do something!
3. Dressing up as a Robert Palmer girl for Senior Ambition Day... those are some remarkable legs you have!!! And, yes, that is a hint of jealousy you detect.
2. Telling my homophobic uncle, in your most effeminate voice, "Uncle Johnny, your legs are so sexy" as he walked across the room. I didn't know he could move that fast or that he could turn that particular shade of red and still be upright!
And last but not least.... the conversation you and my mom had one afternoon when you came to pick me up...
1. My Mom, "Cory, you drive carefully, you're carrying precious cargo"
Cory: bends at the waist and looks at his crotch, then raises up and smiles at my mom and says... "I know!"
My Mom: "Cory Berry!"
Me: Snorting with laughter, of course!
Happy Birthday, my friend! You make this crazy world a much better place for anyone who is blessed enough to know you. I love you bunches, Honey! NOSE! QUARK!!!
