Boitday.
Yes, it’s that time of year once again.
I’m getting to be of the age when if you were to light a candle for each year I’ve been on the planet, the first one would burn out before you could light the last one. In order to keep a birthday cake from looking like a Baghdad display of “shock and awe,” I’m now one of those “one candle for each decade” guys.
Denny, my guitar playin’, kazoo tootin’ friend, likes to remind everyone that I am the “elder half of the Elderly Brothers,” but I would remind him that in a scant few days he will be as old as I am today. I figure that next year we should commence our “Soft Food Tour” in earnest. We’ll only need a repertoire of two songs, because by the time we finish playing the second song, the audience will have forgotten the first one. Besides, we can’t remember more than two songs.
Happy Boitday!
Mine’s Monday. Strange thing, so many of the people I count as friends have birthdays within a week or so of mine. Enjoy your day.

Yeah, I have the candle of the decade problem also….Problem is my family only does it for completed decades with large candle`s & small candles for the individual years of the unfinished decade. Next June I will have 6 biggies & 9 teenies …….Bummer! Anyway happy birthday to you , I`ll drink to that!

I’m at the age (33) where it’s best to keep track of our age in hexadecimal.

So your birthday cake with all those candles is the REAL cause of global warming.
Seriously, Happy Birthday!

Happy late birthday, Jimbo! And Erica completely cracks me up. I laughed out loud about her comment about she and Carl being the same age.
Comment by Bou — October 18, 2009 @ 10:30 pm
OMG I missed your birthday! I know this saddened you. I have been so busy I am behind in my blog reading and this is what happened! I should be stabbed.
Oh and Happy Belated Birthday!
