You guys are the best. Thanks for all the wonderful birthday sentiment. It means a lot to me.
So far the birthday has been pretty fine. Someone brought bagels into work for Julie and I who share today as a birthday, and folks have been stopping by the office all morning with birthday cheer. This past weekend Marie took me away overnight and we hung out together for two days, uninterrupted, dining out, settin by the fireplace, watchin old movies and just reconnecting like couple have to do from time to time.
I won’t be able to get together with the rest of the family until this weekend, but so far, three of my grandkids have called to wish me a happy birthday, and that’s pretty special to me. Marie and I will celebrate one more time tonight at our favorite local pub where the food is good and cheap and so is the alcohol.
When I raise my glass tonight, I’ll toss one down with all of the OKP in mind.
Thanks again, bill
btw, moma, “We drink to your coffin. May it be built from the wood of a hundred year old oak tree that I shall plant tomorrow” has got to be the best toast I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much!
