| Kenny's artwork...I'm 'Victor' |
Hearing ‘Happy Birthday’ sung at the ole Fire House is
definitely worth the price of admission…which, not surprising…is FREE! Yeah, we
don’t have too many that even recognize the significance of ‘holding key’. But
fun…oh we do have fun with it. I'll attempt to place tonight’s rendition unto Facebook. It is not our best, but you get
the idea…we’re pretty awful.
Of course there are always cards with humor, something about
age for us ‘old’ dudes, but the best have been when Ken takes his pen to adlib and
create that card that fits our particular fire house and the crazies within.
Typically we’ll have a ‘birthday’ page over the PA, to which
we gather about the kitchen, squeak out the song, pass the card to the birthday
boy or girl and get to the main part…the eating of cake, ice cream, banana
splits, or maybe something made special like a ‘Banana Split Cake’. Sometimes
we’ll then stand around reminiscing and other times we’re done…off we go until
the next BDay.
All in all, birthdays have been one of many important ways that we have experienced camaraderie at the fire house. I thank you my brothers and sisters for maintaining this tradition over the years. Never lose your traditions...and/or make new ones.
