Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. It was a good one.
Didn't really need anything in the way of presents, but a certain groovy someone sent me a bag of jellybeans and a vinyl Sesame Orange Oscar. Never knew such a creature existed.
Yes, NASA confirmed the candles on my cake were visible from space, and I needed the Big Bad Wolf to help blow them all out.
Newsie, I love that analogy. It is my 49th lap around the sun. That means I've seen Uranus once or twice.. OOPS!! I MEAN NEPTUNE!!!! 8)
Next year for the big 5-0, my wife and her friend at church are already planning for a big blowout. An outdoor barbecue would be fantastic. When they light the candles, the fire departments from three surrounding towns will be on notice.
