Thanks everyone. This thread will be as much celebrating as I get today because of work madness, but it is great to check in and see all the warm good wishes. I'm lucky to have so many friends here. Delaying any other celebration -- including cocktails, sadly -- until Friday. Fill in for me tonight, OK?

Happy Birthday to my ro-bro! Hope you have a great one and that you get your shiny ass back here and hang out some. Cheers!

Catching up a little: Really nice looking pizza, Ric, but damn you only made that one little green spot for the lovely nursing mother?! Excellent score! Pics, people, pics! x 27, although a Manhattan and cookies sounds pretty fun. OH. MY. GOD. *faints*

Hope you had a good one! Cheers

What she said! Cheers!

lol

Same as every other day, Queen V!

It doesn't take Jim long enough to drink a Sazerac to register a temp change.

I'm ready to sue the shit out of everyone right now. Drawing up a complaint . . .

Happy birthday!

Fuckers!

April Fools isn't far away...

Jim and Peter, glad that all is well and that you have a new big truck to drive. And congrat to each of you on your victories. Haj, that sounds awful and I think I would find a replacement to do my root canal. I have had a few of them and it is painful before they are done. I hope it gets resolved soon. Congrats to Tom and Mrs. Buttons!

Happy Tampa Birthday Fitz!

In glad somebody [else] said it.

Maybe more than Al's amps are flaming...

It's hilarious to me that there is not a single post about the iPad3 announcement going on right now.

I just listened to this the other day and really like it. I don't think I have listened to them before and they usually play Hardly Strictly too.

Fitz is only being nice because he loves a man in uniform.

Feel better Mike and Jacob!

Sorry about the bad gut, Haj. Not enjoying eating would be awful, let alone the actual pain part. Hope it isn't a long-term thing. I worked about 16 hours yesterday and into this morning, so technically it is what I did today. The only highlight was opening a package from jvlgato, which contained some treats from Great Lakes Distillery. The gin sounds awesome and the Amerique Absinthe Rouge is a first for my liquor cabinet. This is in addition to the bottle of Black Tuesday that Bryan and Allison sent me, and the beers at Mike & Debbie's, and FFF, so I really should visit Chicagoland more often! Thanks everyone! Excited to try a rouge Death in the Afternoon tonight when we open the bottle of champagne I got for Claire on Friday to celebrate her tenure. She had a Stillwater beer on an empty stomach before I got home that night and had some of my cocktail, but we never got around to cracking the bubbly. Pics later.

Bummer. Rock on Ronnie!

My friend, you are still my friend! Have a great long weekend birthday Nate! Cheers!

Awesome pic of Lily and Frosty! Enjoy the day, Commie Dad.
