beat the deadline

Freddy boy! What a man.

I announced another story about Fred Ruben. Hope everone is curious to hear.

It´s not so much a story - more of an event.

You know, some of us mortals can forget birthdays and have to be reminded by others when someone have had their birthday. I wish it wasn´t like that, but I am sure as I write this I have already forgot someone´s birthday. If you read this, James, please forgive me (is it yours today? Can´t remember).

So - what does Freddy do? How does he display his absent-mindedness in a way no one does after him? He forgets his OWN birtday! A whole WEEK before his special day, he doesn´t pay it a single thought. And so when he is late for school (as normally was the case), and as he was entering the class room, the whole class broke out in singing. -For him. Fred Ruben was confused and didn´t quite understand what was going on untill it dawned on him.

I could go on telling about the time he took his stereo remote controll in his back pocket when he was going out to take the bus, or when he went shopping with a month old shopping list (hehe), but there is not enough space on the web for them all. You have to hear it from himself. He´s a great and generous friend and I am very happy to know him and his wife and their little girl, Carina. I recommend everyone to pay them a visit. :)
