Thanks to everyone who took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday either through posts, phone calls, emails, or heartfelt photos like the one my buddy Alexander sent me today. The latter almost brought me to tears as it stirred memories of my last few weeks on the show – how Alexander would greet us by marching into our offices, dropping to his knees, and throwing out his arms, middle fingers outstretched and waving. It’s the small things that make up the happy memories.
Speaking of happy memories, last night – a tick past midnight – Akemi gave me the birthday card she’d been working on for – well, since Toronto: a multi-colored masterpiece of construction paper, cardboard, colored pencils, markers, photos, stickers and (occasionally odd) sentiments. A few excerpts...
Today, I celebrated in fine fashion – by having friends over to watch football and cheer on my fantasy football team. Sadly, the Snow Monkeys last because the Dallas Cowboys don’t play to win; they merely play not to lose. Oh, and apparently Roddy White is already looking ahead to his retirement. Still, it was memorable for the company and, of course, the food...
Birthday celebrations continued tonight with dinner at Boneta...
I enjoyed a wonderful rainbow trout. We finished the meal with a dessert medley that included...
I’d like to remind everyone that Joe’s birthday festivities will continue throughout the week so feel free to celebrate in your own way. As for me, I’m heading off to bed to continue reading Terry Brooks’ First King of Shannara. So far, so very good…
