It’s a balmy 25 F outside and Hubby is celebrating the BIG 3-something. I got him a DVD of Planet Terror (I LOVE the Machete trailer in the beginning.) and assorted clothing items. (Yup…BORING!)
Later today, I’ll take him to see Grand Torino and then we’ll meet up with the family to dine at the BEST PUB EVER, O’Connor’s, in Worcester.
I was hoping to scan a photo of Hubby taken when he was a young pup, but he hid it on me. I think it had to do with what these gentlemen have in common:
Mullet Mania!!!
So, I’ll have to put up this more recent pic:
Happy B-Day! Love You!

Recently, Hubby and I celebrated the 50th birthday of Hubby’s uncle. AARP is on the ball because Uncle received his AARP membership invite months before his half century mark. Now he can receive his AARP magazine, which, from what I can tell, is just like any other major circulation pop-culture magazine but with more ads for stair lifts, male hair transplants and Viagra.
To celebrate the big 5-0, I designed a mock-up of an AARP cover and framed it. Uncle liked it and that’s all that matters. Note: I clumsily blocked out Uncle’s last name.
What a smile!

That's Hawa'ii
I’m on this birthday kick for no reason whatsoever. Remember birthdays aren’t just for people, they’re for other things as well…like states. On this day in 1959, “We Like Ike” Eisenhower signed the proclamation making Hawaii a state. Because of this, we Americans don’t need no stinkin’ visa to:
* Eat poi with the natives
* Visit the Dole Pinapple Plantation
* Experience the Polynesian Cultural Center
* Feel the heat at Hawa’ii Volcanoes
Unfortunately you can’t go to Don Ho’s grave…his ashes were scattered off Waikiki Beach. Otherwise, don’t steal the lava (it’s bad luck) and Hang Ten. The best part about Hawaii…it’s not Martha’s Vineyard!

Don’t forget to blow out 175 candles for our 23rd President, Benjamin Harrison! Grandson of Benjamin HENRY Harrison, our beloved 9th Prez, the other Ben was only 5 feet, 6 inches tall, earning him the moniker, “Little Ben,” by his Democrat enemies. Admittedly, Ben was one of those boring presidents who dealt mostly with tariffs and trade items (ie. signer of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act); no military actions for this man. The only battles he fought was in Congress.
If you’re swinging by Indianapolis today, stop by his home. I’m sure they’re serving cake.
