Happy Birthday to my dear friend Skip, seen here in pics from twenty years ago. In fact, these photos were taken on the very first day I officially met Skip in 2005, which means that this year marks 20 years of friendship, just as we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of our first BroSox Adventure. (I told you 2025 was going to be epic.)
Skip’s lovely/long-suffering wife Sherri is one of my best friends, who also happens to be my boss, and she appears here making Skip look better than in the hilarious featured pic (which I had to include because it’s too funny and it’s what we do). Again, we were twenty years younger, and friends that you’ve had for twenty years are dear indeed.
I don’t recall much from my first interaction with Skip, other than I thought he had decent enough style to rock such a jaunty cap, and I trusted Sherri’s impeccable judgment of character to consider him a good guy. Twenty year later, he’s still proving how good a person can be, and remains someone who keeps me on my game – morally and intellectually.
Finally, since I posted what they were wearing twenty years ago at one of our theme parties (the Venetian Vanity Ball, to be exact) it’s only fair to post the ridiculousness adorning my body for that fateful evening. Here you go – Happy Birthday Skip! Looking forward to #BroSox10!
