Not only is today Halloween, it is also my beautiful wife Amy's thirtieth (30th) birthday. That's a milestone that means, "Damn we are gettin' old!" At least I have a year to go. Anyhow, since I already had this post basically done prior to the death of my computer, all I have to do is hit the "publish" button and I'm done. Lucky me. Sometimes a little planning is a good thing.
Anyhow, here are thirty songs for thirty years. All specifically for my wife and all with some special meaning to her or just songs that she really likes. A fitting tribute (along with a visit to the salon) I think. Plus how cool is it that her birthday is on Halloween? It's no wonder that candy corn is her favorite vegetable. Also, here is my daughter Hailey dressed up as a pink leopard (note the sweet shoes).
