Not only is today New Year’s Day, it’s also Motor Man’s birthday.
So, in honor of his special day, I thought it might be fun to share some previously unrevealed facts about my hubby.
1.) The only song lyrics Motor Man knows are to the chorus of “Thunder Road”. Since most of you probably aren’t familiar with that song, here’s a link for your listening enjoyment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwUpxkfSJw
2.) Motor Man once had two newspaper routes as a young boy, built his first race engine when he was in his teens, and started his own (very successful) business when he was 28 years old.
3.) He flipped a “souped up” go-kart once when he was a kid, and broke his little toe. He couldn’t tell his Mom, because she had forbidden him to drive said go-kart.
4.) Motor Man loves nothing more than making folks laugh, whether it’s telling a joke, doing something funny, or playing a practical joke. Over the years, though, he’s learned that I don’t take kindly to those jokes being played on ME. That has slowed him down a little, but hasn’t stopped him.
Happy Birthday, Motor Man. You make me smile.
these days of mine 
Here’s to a super happy birthday for your Motor Man! A nice start to a new year is a big celebration with the guy who keeps you smiling……

Happy Birthday, MM!! He can tell you a joke with a perfectly straight face and make you believe he’s telling you FACTS until the very punch line! He should have been a stand-up comedian!!!
He’s a perfect match for my perfect sister!!! Love you both!
Happy Birthday to JR. What a nice day to be born on and no tax deduction for his parents……….His favorite movie and song are at the top of my list, also. Such a catchy tune that stays in your mind for days. I have been many times to the final location of the wreck. (My brother and family lived in the area), and it exactly like the movie….We watch the movie at least once a year……
Happy happy birthday, Motor Man — fill it up with fun and love!
