: Listen, Frenchy, I'm lucky I wasn't sitting on Plymouth
: Rock watching the Mayflower land! Glad to see you
: back -- I thought you had absconded with my latest
: shipment of Gnome Butter and Thunderbird! If you can
: unstick yourself from the Yengeese Strumpet, DEW drop
: in and help me fill up all these teensy little tequila
: bottles!

: : : : :   To All:  Also, besides Mary's birthday, on this date in history in 1969 men first walked on the moon.  That's some good company, Mary!   

: : : : Well, now! THAT explains THAT, now doesn't it?? Thanks, Bro!

: : : Oh, you mean all that celebratory hoo-ha back in 1969
: : : wasn't for ME??? Dagnabit!! And so many people in my
: : : life have wished I had been sent to the moon, too!

: : : Since there are a lot of Gray Hairs here, I'm sure we
: : : all remember the incredible feeling of watching Neil
: : : Armstrong climb down that ladder, and then going outside
: : : to look at the moon to marvel that two men were actually
: : : up there. My dad said the only thing that he could
: : : compare it to was how he felt as a young man when he
: : : heard that Lindbergh had landed in Paris. He and I
: : : were both nuts about the space program. One of the
: : : best memories I have is when he hoisted me up on
: : : his shoulders to watch Sputnik move through the night
: : : sky right over our house. 

: : : Thanks again for all the birthday greetings, everybody!
