Happy 9th birthday Jack Andrew Clickman!

You’re a cool, smart, good looking, funny kid with a lot of friends.

You’re naturally curious about the world around you, out in space and historic events in the past. I can ask you hard questions (I don’t know the answer to) like “how many moons does Saturn have” and you’ll say, in a very non-assuming way, “I think it’s something like 82 Moons,” which of course ends up being correct.  Amazing.

You crack me up when you quietly say random things like “Donuts are one of the best inventions” or “Wouldn’t it be funny if Mendum’s Pond was called Shawn Mendes Pond?”

You’re a geography buff – I asked the other day which states make up Four Corners and had my answer in a jiffy.

You love airplanes and even have favorite brands- Emirates & Delta.  You’re excited to be going to Florida in February — the number one reason?  “I’m excited because I’ll be flying on Delta and see the airport.”

Too funny.

I don’t know if you’ll be an airline pilot, engineer, inventor, astronaut, archeologist or history teacher, but the world will definitely be your oyster.

There’s no stopping you Master Jack. Lots of love.
