Well now, it's been a while since we've chatted like this and I feel the need to alert those of you with the time and the facility that it's Birthday Time! As you can see, the "2 weeks before" celebration period begins today. Also, as you can see, following the red letter day we have the "2 weeks after" celebration period to afford you full calendar jet setters plenty of time to make arrangements. So, each of you please pick a place, date and time and let's P-A-R-T-Y!

As always, presents would be nice!

"Look Through Any Window"

I have meetings all week, again, and must beg forgiveness for the hit 'n run posting. Already the week after this is shaping up to be more of the same. Even so, birthday month celebrations begin at the same time and there may be a bit of respite between brain storming and working group sessions. If you're coming along bring the Jameson's please - 12 years old!

A few weeks ago the plan was to celebrate my birthday on Easter Sunday with the family. Somewhere along the way and somehow, more than half of us came down with flu or that stomach virus that was going 'round through the late winter months. In any case, this image was supposed to have been posted then but wasn't ... better late than never, right?
