48, and Counting
Had a most pleasant birthday surrounded by my peeps. My boy came home from college for the weekend, and we all went out to a fine Mariscos restaurant this evening where I enjoyed a stiff margarita, lobster enchiladas with green chile sauce, and flan for dessert. I also received some very welcome news from my mom who let me know she's planning on making a rather substantial monthly contribution towards Son of Mr. Bali Hai's education, so we won't have to live on Kraft Dinners, Dinty Moore's Beef Stew, and VanCamp's Beanee-Weenees for the next 4 years.
I'm a lucky guy, and I'm very grateful for my family.
That is all.

Happy Birthday MBH!
May your karma and your tiki stay strong.

Happy birthday, Mr. BH! Due to a cash-flow problem, we've been living off the Californian equivalent (Trader Joe's bulk chicken enchiladas), so we know the dire fate from which you have been averted. Live on, nearly untrammeled by onerous tuition requests! (My father once said he never had a happier day than when he made the last college payment for my education -- even my graduation.)

Always late to the party.
Happy birthday! (he says, standing in the doorway, a day late, holding a half deflated foil balloon.)

Happy belated b-day, Mr. B. Hope it was a good one (even if I've now got a mental picture of you, surrounded by giant pink, sugary bunnies).

Took me a while to figure out what you were talking about there, Czelt...:-)

I'm cryptic that way. :)
