a 35 year old story

Once upon a time there was a crazy, zany guy who came upon a faraway land. "What are the chances?", he said to himself as he pondered whether such a place could be "home".
In no time he set to work - performing death defying stunts, which he was well known for, wowing this new land with his acts.

The "Dutch guy" - as they called him - seemed to fit nicely into the niche he had carved out for himself among the people of this land.

From time to time however, for a spell he would jet off to the homeland...

& all would wonder & talk amongst themselves as to when he might return. It was never a question of "if" - just WHEN?!

As expected, when he did reappear - his social contingent rejoiced....

& today his "social contingent" celebrates the dawning of another year for the Dutch Guy.

~ Happy 35th Birthday ~

& this is definitely not..........The End!
