Celebrating a Milestone? Write a blog!
Who would have thought that reaching out to touch someone can cost close to nothing? I still remember those days when MCI and AT&T were battling for my business so I can call home for less than a dollar per minute! Celebrating milestones became an expensive effort when friends and family are scattered all over the world.But these days, everyone is a published writer, and putting up a blog is an evening's worth of cutting and pasting, uploading and downloading, and sending off that general email to everybody in the contacts list.
We did it back in 2007, when the Doug-meister, better known then as the Pirate Papa, turned 40.
For the love of Doug, now known to his hundreds of followers as geophf, we've created this new space. Go ahead and say hello (easy-to-fill-out form on the left, just for you!), congratulate him on reaching 50, and enjoy the few snippets from the life that he hasn't revealed (yet) to the world.

All I can say is - smile, while you still have teeth.
Happy, happy birthday Doug and may you continue to be blessed!

Happy 50th birthday!
What a milestone to add to your other milestones! I'm still amazed at how you can speak Tagalog, really.
Enjoy the moments, as you always do. May the magnanimous God shine on you and grant you continued health, prosperity, and the presence of love and family in your life.
Maligayang kaarawan!
Blessings,

50 years? You're only half way there if you take care of yourself the way you are at present. You've been blessed with a witty sense of humor, a loving family and loving friends, and great potential to someday become a credible tenor!
We look forward to celebrating this half-century milestone with you.
Lots of love,
John & Wanda

So Michael (aka Dawg with the accent), you've finally caught up with us and reached the Age of Enlightenment. May you have a wonderful day with the people you love and who love you the most. May our loving Heavenly Father bless you with continued good health so you can enjoy life more abundantly, serve Him more passionately and become more like Jesus obedient to your calling. Be blessed with His unsurpassed love, joy and peace. Happy birthday dear cousin-in-law.
