Okay, about a half-hour premature, but what the heck. Happy birthday, old man. Keep it in the wind, even if it's hard to steer...

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Somebody may have tipped off the ladies in the office next door to his (has nothing to do with the fact that they're my clients--hey, what are friends for?):

Very funny,

The backstory on the tree is following last Christmas that tree was in lobby. I made a comment how it was maybe time for it to come down before it confuses the Easter bunny. One of your friends over there said that was my job. I made the innocent & casual reply how in most civilized cultures that is "Wimmin's work".

Somehow my failed attempt at humour go lost in the translation. Game on

Happy Birthday to "u", John!

I like the tree!

(...hey, so maybe I should really say instead..."Merry Halpopmas"!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Thanks again folks.

But as said I am quite used to being the token male in a building of ~20 above average, intelligent, not to mention attractive women, who for some odd reason feel the need to remind me of any real or percieved man-caused ill since Adam was in diapers, whenever I make a particularly witty, inciteful observation.

What are the odds, living on edge of civilization that the good Friar would be conducting a training for them. And to make things worse, they all think he's normal & well-adjusted
