Before I head out this evening, here is a funny photo to ruin your supper! http://www.planethoustonamx.com/47th_bd.jpg Not sure how the rest of the world spends their 47th birthday, but this one has been different, only because I guess my dad died a few months ago. So just brother Tommy & me. However with temps today in the upper 70s, and great Chamber of Commerce weather, really breezy though, this is what happened not that anyone cares, but I have a few minutes to type it so maybe you read it. Made kids breakfast. Fed dogs. Read Houston Chronicle (except funnies, I leave those for night and read before go to bed) Put stabilizer link kit on 68 Rebel convertible "machine" (and someone asked me the other day what part number it is; it is K3105 MOOG fro O'Reillys. Painted 401 emblems with kids paintbrush Planted lots of bulbs and flowers Changed oil on Rebel, and man, was it sludge Answered 6 emails Took shower Opened card from kids, no money in it, damn. Watched a small art of George Mason knock out Uconn, boy all my picks are gone. Waiting for Costa Rican babysitter to come over and watch the kiddies for a few hours so Paige & me can go out to eat. Yup, that is about it, as uneventful as one can get. Brother Tommy turned 50 two days ago, not sure what he did but hope it was a good one. We did talk for a little bit about mom, dad, and stuff like throwing oranges at cars in the 60s on I-37 down in Corpus Christi. We quit thorwing rocks fromt he railroad tracks after a car we hit was my uncle and he came back around and knew where the rocks had come from, so we got butts blistered with Hot Wheels tracks which leaves orange Go Pack stripes on your ass. So we could 'get away' with oranges, but no more rocks. Funny how you remember some stuff on birthdays! PS: the hair in the photo will be coming off shortly, it is a lion mane, but is going to be donated to kids with cancer here at M. D. Anderson as the hospital uses long hair to make wigs for the kids. So after more than a year it is time to lop it off. That is Jacob on the left, who is 3, and Noah on the right who is 4, and many of you know Paige, my wife of 17+ years, from many of the meets we have attended and vended at.
