Thanks for all the good wishes. It has been a pretty decent birthday weekend, including waking up for all of it - so far. On Friday the oil company came by and filled up my heating oil tank, and the bill was at least a hundred bucks less than I had feared. So there's that, plus now I should be able to keep my buns warm for a few moons. Then yesterday my sister dragooned a half-dozen close family members who came over and cleaned up my yard - trimmed limbs and bushes, raked and bagged leaves, picked up fallen branches and other random trash, all while I sat with her dog and smoked a cigar. Tough job, but somebody - right? Plus she brought me a bag of fun-size Mounds, for unlikely as it sounds there are those rare times I do NOT feel like a nut. And while this all was going on, with nearly a week of bidin' my time, I learned that Rejection Day was finally - over, maybe? Then we watched my Heels rake Dookie butt all over their home field, with my boys scoring 7 touchdowns in their first 7 possessions - a fairly effective percentage. Oh, and during that time Sis and my niece ran up to Arby's to buy us all lunch. Hey, you can't win 'em all. Then today I got a birthday code from JRs for 15% off my order, so thus that money I saved on fuel oil will also go up in smoke.

Enough puns sprinkled in there for you, Tom?
