Hey!! You made it to another year! For all of us, making it to another year is worthy of celebration alone.

I think we can all agree that for people like Greg Susong, Janice O'Neal & Bruce Landau, to mention a very very small few who left us FAR too early, we all would have enjoyed watching them grow a little older.

I'm very lucky to have as many chips in my collection because of you. I'm also very lucky that I've had as many back & forths about Notre Dame, college football, sports & general (and specific) B.S. about a lot of topics under the sun.

You have earned your day Chuck. Enjoy every second of it. I'm happy you are still around, and I hope your back keeps getting better & better my friend!
