Swimming with the Sharx!

Yeah, boyzzzz! Happy 24th birthday today to young Samuel Alexander Mitchell, born on this day in 1989.

Up and downs and ups again, mostly ups, but it’s been an interesting and instructive journey all the way. We remember romping through the Hollywood Hills in the convertible with him, all of 2½ or 3 years old, singing along to the great standards of that stage of life: Charming Billy, Old King Cole, Baa, Baa Black Sheep. Now he is a full 6-foot-3 (!), way taller than his late, great dad, the Old Master Mistah Dick Mitchell. And thanks to the steady guidance of his mother, the eponymous Cynthia of the Cynthia Publishing Company, the nursery rhymes have given way to financial analysis and investment banking. Surely we could use some of that business sense and brainpower over here at CPC! Clearly, young Samuel has bigger fish to fry! Good job.

So, Sammie Boy, happy birthday. Many happy returns. Of course, best wishes.

P.S. Power outage! Stoopid! The rest of this post was lost. Tomorrow!
