Happy Birthday, Jeff!
Thank you, Janie! How are YOU, today? Feeling better, I hope.
Hey, Happy Birthday! Someday, some blogger will be including your name along with those others as he identifies the notable people born on his birthday. ;-)
Eric, thank you, my friend. If I could just get my Mom to blog, I'd already have THAT.
Ha ha! (uses voice of that kid on King of the Hill with hair in his eyes) "Your mom...blogs..."
Thanks for the kind words yesterday. (I'm actually in the town right next door to you. I probably can't get in touch this trip, but I'll be in the area a lot for a while. We'll definitely have to meet!)

Ha ha! Someday, but he is resistant. He claims that everytime I plan a not dead yet party, something bad happens.

Happy Belated Birthday...we share the same month of September for a birthday, although, I have a feeling I could be a bit older than you...I'll turn...gah dang it Jeff, I can't even write it down. It's big though. REALLY big.
Thank you, Julie. I'm sure it's not THAT big!
