Who else? (CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL)

 

There seems to be a lot of folk born in January, and a few actually on January 17^th. Many Dad’s &

(or) Moms must have gotten frisky in April. Surely it wasn’t an April fool’s day for moms!!

I didn’t hear many but I remember a little ‘off color’ joke from my child hood, ‘He was only poking fun, and she took him serious!’

(First attempt at self mirror picture)

Whatever the reason (Shirl insists I was just a mistake, LOL), HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US ALL!!

We have Joe… on the 16^th.

Dad on the 14^th

Rose on the 3^rd

Me, Ace & Mel on the 17^th (I always celebrated my dogs BD on the 17^th) along with:

1706 Benjamin Franklin (statesman)

1820 Anne Bronte (author)

1860 Anton Chekhov (short story writer)

1899 Al Capone (Gangster)

1922 Betty White (actress)

1928 Eartha Kitt (singer) (Santa Baby)

1928 Vidal Sassoon (hair stylist, beauty expert)

1931 James Earl Jones (actor, narrator)

1939 Maury Povich (talk show host)

1942 Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay) (boxer)

I know I will miss some, but Happy Birthday to all of you January folk anyway.

Birthdays are special, especially for kids. Once you are an old kid, one is nice, but not a big thing. But thanks for all the Happy Birthdays from the net and our family. I even got ‘text’ messages from Jack & Reece and figured how to answer them. THREE from UTAH (Carol, Corey, or Ben?) One is from Corey, got a picture of the new baby!!!

(I hated all the practice shots, but I finally got a picture of one of my birthday presents!)

We are off to the Olive Garden to continue our celebration which started last night sometime and is still going on. It is great when SHE is your best friend, wife and lover!!!!

So today I am 72 years old, I remember when I couldn’t count that high!!!

Once in the Navy, I had to bring some SAILORS back to the states to catch up on some work. I borrowed computers on several ships. I worked the troops around the clock ‘til completion.

I got them together and thanked them for working so hard and said I will arrange our flight back. My good buddy Wayne said, ‘Jack, are we heading back to Gitmo before we even get a massage?’ I had forgotten, I had single guys who had been on GITMO for months without seeing a girl that was not taken.

I apologized and gave them a day of R& R in Norfolk before heading back. The next day they were all smiles. I asked Wayne about the massage Parlors, since I had never been inside one. I had been married since I was 17.

He said, “For $20 you get a ‘Front or back massage, and one extremity of your choice’,” he smiled and said, I always choose my right arm or a foot.”

Sooooo last night I chose.. Oh well, I enjoyed an evening like most OLD FOLKS at 72 laid back and relaxed. Yeah, I know the celebration was a day early, but at my age you worry about buying bananas too old. Strike while the iron is hot, etc.

Thanks for coming by the log,

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
