My birthday was 1 October, and I just received a birthday card from Stephen. The front of the card reads: Birthday, Birthmonth, I was close. Enclosed with the card is a keyring with my initials GB in big gold, glossy letters. And the message in the card reads: One year older and yes... still an Ol' Git! I also saw this keychain and had to go back and pick it up. After all, who couldn't use a Del-Boyesque personlized key chain." Thank you, Stephen! I love it.
Stephen invariably reads my posts about three weeks after I've written them, so most of you probably miss the pithy comments he leaves. This one is my favourite, all the way at the bottom.

Yeah, we are pretty fantastic!!
Speaking of Del-Boyesque, I found a fuzzy fake tiger skin cell phone cover for Stephen's old phone for a whopping 10 riyals. Unfortunately, it never arrived when I mailed it. I guess some brain-dead postal worker with incredibly bad taste liked it and took it home.
Speaking of Mid-town Manhattan - how's that for a non-sequitor? - you must go up to the top of what used to be the RCA Bldg. at Rockefeller Center to the newly-opened observation deck. Better views than from the ESB because the view includes it. Also it's closer to Central Park so a better view an especially now because of all the color in the trees. Hurry down & go up!
BTW I got tickets to the Producers for Dec. 20th for Ma & me for our 30th. Great seats 4 rows up on the aisle in the dress circle.
GROUNDSKEEPER WILLIE: Brothers and sisters are natural enemies! Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! [Dang] Scots! They ruined Scotland!
PRINCIPAL SKINNER: Boy, you Scots sure are a contentions people.
GROUNDSKEEPER WILLIE: [furious] You just made an enemy for life, Skinner!
*weary sigh*
That should say "contentious." I don't know what happened.
We certainly have our fair share of squabbles. Although these days it's mostly J's mummy and J's uncle, or J's uncle and J, who knows just how to wind him up and then feign innocence. I, of course, am a perfect delight to be around and never cause any contention or strife. Until I through a paddy and then the ceiling comes down!!
In response to the Nov. 4th comment - Your spelling's a lot like Ian's. "Through"!? Sin verguenza when there's a preview mode.
17 Days!!! A New Record
