A birthday acrostic

March 5, 2009 by Barbara.

To keep things interesting, I’m going to offer Roger an acrostic for his birthday.

R - Reliable - Roger is one of those people that you can count on to come through for you.
O - Omniscient - Okay, Roger isn’t omniscient but he definitely has an answer to - or a strategy to find the answer to - just about any question that I ask him and I ask a lot of questions.
G - Grin - Roger has a crooked smile (that matches Reid’s I might add) that he’ll offer when you tickle his dry sense of humour. I seem to have a knack for making suggestions and statements that meet the criteria
E - Engaged - Maybe this is a government word but I’m a public servant and so it works for me. Roger has remained actively engaged with me despite my 20 years away from Wheatley. I’m glad and grateful for this.
R - Right - Often Roger is right,  though I don’t want to emphasize this, too much. His ego doesn’t need it ;+)

It’s too bad Roger wasn’t named Somerset because I could have used “super”, “sensitive”, “marvelous”, “terrific” and on and on.

Happy birthday, Roger! I hope it’s been a great day.
