Happy Early Birthday!!! EDIT: Well, let's go lookin' and see what other kinda drum I can find.... Just remember, Randy, it's the thought that counts, even though the first drum I had was way more cool.

From what my friend tells me, her neighbor has been rather difficult to live next to...(you should see the beautiful redwood fencing she has constructed just to give her some privacy--it's as tall as the trees.) He has quite a few acres but decided to build his house justrightnext to my friend's existing house... Hey Ghost... Whoa! 23rd and New Jersey? Yup, you had it year round...

We get a mixed bag here, depending on one's location. I'm house sitting, and normally I only hear the sounds from crickets, frogs, and rustling leaves while creatures creep about the woods out back. Of course, last night the next door neighbor, who is known to use the deer that freely roam for target practice, had all of his gizmos and gadgets going. I bet he was wearing camouflage. Fireworks are illegal in Indiana. The "Out of State" fireworks stands are all over. You just sign a waiver, promising that you won't use the fireworks in state, and you're good to go...

WTF.... nobody emails me....

Happy Birthday! Enjoy NYC!

Nah... that's a whole different punchline...

I am an eyecare professional. People mistake a "Z" for a "2" all of the time.... especially those wearing disposable undergarments....

Happy Birthday !!

Well, at least now we know how justice went blind....

Actually, Jerry Lewis has pulmonary fibrosis and was being treated with high doses of corticosteroids which gives that typical "moon-face". I saw an interview with him recently since he has been off of the meds (or on a greatly reduced dose), and he has lost a ton of weight.

Enjoy your day!!

How is it that pictures of beautiful babies (Zora in particular) just seem to make everything right with the world. I can't even imagine how it must feel to be a parent.

Yay! Maren solves another mystery! Happy Birthday Rainy!!!

Here here!! Happy Father's Day to all of the "big daddies" on the board...

What... you don't want to debate to death the merits of beer versus water?

Aren't you supposed to use beer for wet T-shirt contests? ...or so I've heard.

I'm shocked and frankly more than a little dismayed. Tequila and driving do not go together. How am I supposed to do body shots and keep my eyes on the road? Vodka is much better....

What Chuck said...

Hey Mark~ I'll definitely be there on Saturday for Brad Mehldau and the John Scofield trio. (Wish I could be there Sunday for the Kenny Garrett Quartet...) I'll look for you!

Hanging out at Rick's again tonight (hopefully no 2 bit wannabe organ trio will be playing ); tomorrow is dinner with family visiting from New York; Sunday is just for chillin'. Next week-end is Indy Jazz Fest.

Jim Dye: It appears that Benjamin is having one terrific dream in that pic! How adorable. ScottB: You have probably the 3 most beautiful girls I have seen in a long time. With beautiful names to match. ( but just wait until PMS strikes x 3 ) Tonym: Your son is so cute! He looks like he's "all boy". I know an adorable 4 year old blonde who just loooves 3 year old boys. It could be a match made in heaven. (but she's rather controlling and bossy at her tender age....be forewarned. ) B3-er: I still can't help but talk "babytalk" to my screen when I see a picture of Zora. Yes, I'm doing it right now as I type...

Ain't it the truth. I have two nieces and one nephew graduating from high school this year. I remember changing their diapers back in the day.... *sigh* Speaking of growing up too fast: Avatar Jennifer is the daughter of some friends (I've known Jennifer's mom since college..) She is now 4 years old and just got her first bike. Mom is fine with her growing independence (she's got a 4 month old which takes up a lot of her time so she welcomes it actually); However, "Aunt Ra-Ra" is horrified! I remember when Jennifer fit between my elbow and the palm of my hand. Now she asks me where babies come from.... *double sigh* Here's Jennifer at 7 mos. Note the cigar-like "binky".
