To all of you who have had, will have, might have, did have but didn't bother to mention it, or have already had so many you're sick of hearing about it and don't even want to think about it anymore:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I THINK I'll be 78 on June 30, but I'm not absolutely sure about either the number or actually LIVING that long.
Now of course what prompted this is that I missed Ivy's birthday --- Happy Birthday, Ivy! --- and I see that Theron is the only person here who's older than I am.
The other thing is that my parents both made it to age 82, so I figure MAYBE I've got another four years to complete my book on "How To Lose Friends and Irritate People," so I need to get busy.
I was going to write a book with the same title. Actually, I was just going to save up all the emails I've sent and the posts I've posted and put them together. It's much easier that way.
Happy Birthday James. Too bad I didn't know you existed when I played football with your brother Jerry and was a great friend and classmate with your sister Brenday. Good People - All.
Lathan, I'm sorry I failed to properly acknowledge your kind words, so I came back to reread this and what you said about your version of the book. Having done so, it suddenly hit me that we should co-author the book and title it:
"How to Lose Friends and Irritate People on the Trash Pile Road"
Jimmy, My Jenny's birthday is 30 June too, but her's is a slightly smaller size than yours right now. I hope she never catches up! May she always maintain that safe following distance from you! Since I'm sure to not remember yours on the day, Happy Anticipation, Friend.
Happy Anticipation to your Jenny, also, Chuck. Tell her I'll keep trying to stay ahead.
I wasn't fishing for birthday wishes, guys --- just being silly --- but I appreciate them Hopefully, we'll all live 'til everybody that loves us is gone or gets tired of looking at us, and then we'll go to "The Great Mignon Reunion in the Sky."
"FRIED CORN FOR EVERYBODY --- THREE MEALS A DAY AND SNACKS!"
