Many things to post about (sub-prime mortgage mess, backing up PCs, dogs), but not much time. I did want to get this one out there though, just because it’s so much fun.
I had a birthday this past weekend. The daughter and her boyfriend took me out to dinner; I chose The Friendly Toast – a local alt.food establishment – big plates of food, ridiculous decor, and, as far as I’m concerned, comfortable.

There were presents, oh, were there presents. Wrapped in brown paper and tied with brown wool – it makes me smile just thinking of it.

Two nice books (Gorey and Airstreams) and two toys. Did you know that koalas, penguins and seals used to prey on cetaceans? True! The cuddly ones almost drove narwhals into extinction – something narwhals have not forgotten. Thus The Avenging Narwhal Play Set:

Four interchangeable magic tusks! Three adorable animals to impale!

Thanks J – the Tusked Avenger is on a shelf in my office using the crystal tooth on a koala.
The daughter gave me some temporary tattoos suitable for the elderly. I’ll post a picture when I apply one – I think the first up will be a snake coiling around one of those pill organizers with compartments for each day of the week.
I can only see a narwal’s magical ice tusk as being a handicap.
PS. Happy birthday! I got you this thought that counts.
arthritis sucks, huh?
Happy Burpday,
I know what you got for yourself (heard it through the grapevine).
FYI – my bd is the 15th, my sis-in-law the 22nd, my wife the 29th.
Strange.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
……sorry – couldn’t resist!!
Lex – that’s cold man, cooooold.
Great song though.
I was trying to come up w/ a response – the best I can do:
Wine and women’s
all I crave
Big legged woman gonna carry me
to my grave
*grin*
Happy birthday!
I thought of you on Sunday. We were driving through Ward and I saw an Airstream parked outside of an old cabin. We were convoying with other people and went by too fast for me to get a pic. Will look again next time I’m up that way
Gracious me! A fellow New Hampshire-ite!
Just got your Twitter add. Nice to meet you! I have subscribed to your feed, as there’s a serious lack of A) Local Folk and B) Natural Historians in my list of feeds.
