But I reminded myself of the old saying that "A picture's worth a thousand words".
I figure that's on average. A blurred, out of focus picture might be worth only 387 words, and a really great picture, like one hanging on the wall in the Louvre in Paris, would be worth 2,000 easily.
Maybe more. But, I digress...
Anyway, I searched high and low and even on the internet, so now I present to you a few images celebrating...
some of Mike's favorite things.
Remember the old ad jingle? I heard a kid sing a parody once, "McDonald's is your kind of place, hamburgers in your face". Okay that was a bit of a cheap shot...Mike loves cheesburgers and he worked in a McDonald's or two.
Then I got to thinking. Mike has loved baseball for years, in fact, he's the expert in my family.

Mike especially enjoys Cardinals' baseball.

Mike is also a big fan of Batman.
So what could be better than a picture of Batman playing baseball?
This took some searching...

I also found this during my search...

And this one was way too much fun to pass up.

And so Mike, it's late as I write this. I hope you've had a wonderful day, and if you haven't had dessert already, by all means do so. Here in a few minutes I intend to have some ice cream in your honor.
