As for around here, we are getting ready to celebrate Roger's Birthday tomorrow. Arline made his favorite cookies -- Oatmeal/Brown Sugar/Pecan/Chocolate Chip. He likes them better than cake (at least the kind SHE makes) and They are people food, of course, but quite tasty as they meet the crunch requirement. Besides, they don't produce a fire hazzard the way a cake with candles would.  Imagine ONE little birthday cake with 82 candles on it and you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, Arline keeps telling him, it's not the numbers that matter, it's just a celebration of how happy people are to have you around. Me and my baby sister are awful glad that he's around -- and not just for the guitar playing, belly scratches and ear rubs, either. HE'S the one who brings home the cat food ;D -- AND the one who gives out the most treats, too.

So,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

ROGER!!!

from your number one fan and his baby sister.
