A Few Things About Steve

2. Yesterday was his birthday and between working until 6:30 and bookclub until midnight, I did not call him. Sorry, Steve! Happy Birthday!
3. He has the best handshake ever. People fear it.
4. He likes my husband, which is a wonderful thing.
5. He loves UT and all things orange, so much so that when I see UT orange I immediately think of him, as though it is his color as well as UT's.
6. He makes really good steak.
7. He's a good dad & a good husband.
8. He taught me the importance of including the date and time when taking a message, and how to drive on the interstate.
