This was a pretty good birthday.

[Redstone]

Mister fucking Pain had the good grace not to show up until about 3 this afternoon, and by then I had gotten in a good morning's work, been treated to a nice lunch and a wonderful dessert (heh, heh) by Mrs R, and received my very own BMW M3 (Hot Wheels version) as a present from the Little Guy.

And I got the package of nine books I'd ordered last week in today's mail.

Yes, a very good day. Screw you, Mr P, you didn't get to ruin it for me.

14. Thank you all. Crowding up on the mid-fifties isn't supposed to be this

much fun, but I like it. The Hot Wheels BMW has taken up residence on top of the big monitor in my office...right next to the guitar-playing Smurf that my older son gave me when he was a kid.

Family is all. And you guys are family.

17. Congratulations on a partially pain-free day, and a special gift

from your special woman and your special guy... and BOOKS. To me, ANY book is a gift.

Happy birthday, Redstone. Mrs. R.'s a lucky woman.

[RevCheesehead]

18. Ah, a P-free birthday.

And a little dessert to boot. :9

You don't need me to wish you a happy birthday. You've already done it.
