And this is what I'll sit down and savor to celebrate the 47th milestone of this journey we call life.
My present to myself? I've got that laptop I've been yapping about. Now I just have to have my local 'puter guru finish some configuration tasks, and I'll be back in buisness.
I was going to buy a new gun for my birthday.....but I can wait for Buy A Gun Day, instead!
Oh, and thanks, Marcus. I think that batch was a truly vintage year!
Happy day! Looks like a nice way to celebrate! And, congrats on the laptop! Does that mean you might be back in the blog business soon?

Happy Birthday Jim!!!
I'll second Beth's question about the new laptop being a harbinger of posting resuming... ;)
(And we want pics of the new gun, dagnabit...)

Happy birthday, you young pup you *grin*. Hope the laptop is all you want it to be, and the cigar was every bit as enjoyable as it looks like it was.

So glad to hear you finally have the laptop, and hoping this means you will be back in business.
Enjoy your bourbon and cigar and have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, BlogFadder! Many more! Damn! With all this current largesse, maybe you are close to getting the sloop's engine repaired (hint, Hint). I might get down TX way early this summer, and if I do, I'm expecting to go sailing!
