Birthday Doppelganger
My mother has always been firm in her belief that Adam looks like Tom Hanks -- or rather that Tom resembles Adam. And while she's understandably biased when it comes to any of her kids, this time she's kinda right.
Well, today is Adam's birthday, and here's the email he sent me from work this morning.
On the way to work, I pick up a ratty 24 daily. Breezing through the sorry veneer of content, I reach the entertainment section in search of some comic relief. Diana Ross didn't show up to Jacko's memorial; good grief, how infuriating. The Beckhams rent an entire island for their wedding anniversary. Don't they know they are just peeing their money away; BUY, DON'T RENT. Moving on to more quantifiable data, in the celebrity birthdays today, I see that Tom Hanks is listed. Clearly, he is gradually encroaching on my life, and attempting to assume my identity. Do you think I should get a restraining order out? - Adam
My reply: How did you get to be so funny?
Adam: Learned from Tom Hanks.
Happy 29th and 53th birthdays, boys!

a pic. of this guy 'adam',who propertedly resembles 'tom' would be fitting so we could all do our own comparing/deciding for ourselves; unbiased,of course.
Good point, Dad! I will have to find one that looks 'realistic.'
Or...would you settle for the live version in August?`
P.S. I've been enjoying recent the 'flurry' of comments from you, Dad. You are obviously more tech-savvy than you let on.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!
