Happy Birthday to the Father Figure

This is my father. He is 70 years old today.
Happy Birthday! And Congratulations!
He is a fortunate man. He remains in love with his wife, my mother. He is pleased with his children and children-in-laws; he adores his grandchildren. Happy as a clam at high tide, he is more busy now in retirement than I have ever known him. His health and finances are good enough to allow him to travel. And he travels all the time. I never know where he is. Usually he is off on some quest to ride a train or find a WWII airplane. When he is at home he has a speed boat to chase the freighters on Lake St. Clair. I foolishly introduced him to Ebay a few years ago. Now he is spending the inheritance buying German model trains. What a happy man.

For his birthday he wanted nothing, which is apt.

He has everything – of importance.
