    Happy Birthday, George! Have a wonderful day.

    It’s my twin daughters’ birthday tomorrow–13 years old–and I’m preparing the house for the party/sleepover tomorrow night. Yikes!

    Happy b-day, George. Born the same year as Bruce Springsteen! I guess that makes you The Boss of the bloggers.

      The Boss of Bloggers…that has a nice ring to it, Drongo! Of course, I was born to run, too. Thanks for your good wishes!

    Happy Birthday, George! This is a red-letter birthdate. You share it with Johnny Depp and Les Paul! Eat a piece of cake for me!

      I knew that Johnny Depp and I shared the same Birth Date, but I didn’t know about Les Paul, Beth. I’m staring at a piece of chocolate cake right now.

    Here it is 2:00 in the afternoon – your time – and I’m just getting around to your blog. Happy birthday, old man, you may catch up to me in a few years. Wait, that’s not how it works, is it? As you say, every year, heck, every day is a gift. May you have many, many happy, healthy returns!

    Nice picture. I’d skip the cake… the other dish is more appetizing.

    “Private Nutzung” indeed, you old rogue! And celebrating with a new body part, too – that’s mighty extravagant. I don’t know whom I share a birthday with, but I do know that I was born the day Lord Haw-Haw was hanged.

    John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, Art. Steven Stills was born the same day a year earlier and Victoria Principal the same day four years later.

    Happy Birthday, George.
    Today my grandson referred to me as an old lady. When I complained (as Phil was laughing in the next seat) Kevin said. “If you weren’t old, you would go with Pop pop.” And he’s right. Just two old codgers.

      I didn’t know I shared a Birthday with Keith Laumer and Lin Carter, Todd. They are two writers I’ve read just about everything they ever wrote.

    Happy Birthday, George, you old scudder. I mean, young whippersnapper. I think I share a b’day with Roy Rogers, and maybe Chairman Mao.

    I’ll bet Roy is wrong, too, Jeff. It was something I picked up in a humor magazine so its bona fides are suspicious.
