Re: Happy Birthday, Sprots!
Thanks, Everybody!
Great day so far, and SteelersFan and I are headed out to dinner as soon as he gets home.
I've been pleasing myself and just watched Djokovic defeat Nadal for the men's U.S. Open Tennis Chamionship. I watched Williams lose yesterday, darn.
More later, SteelersFan just got home.

I can't remember if you're one of the Trek fans around here, but I'll go ahead and put this here.
I got the perfect card with Spock and Kirk on the front.
Kirk says: "Analysis, Spock: If all the candles on that cake were to be lit simultaneously. . ."
On the inside, Spock's voice says: "Annihilation, Jim. Total annihilation."

Re: Happy Birthday, Sprots!
I'm still a bit stupefied by Vandal's rodent. Don't worry, I won't touch those pharmaceuticals with a 10-foot pole.silvercamaro wrote:Sprots, I hope you're having a magnificent birthday with your extended circle of 2-footers and 4-footers who love you!
BTW, I think you should be careful of the squirrel portrayed in Vandal's cake. The critter seemed to be carrying a large quantity of pharmaceutical capsules, perhaps generic.
