Hey Joe!

Thanks, I guess... :'(  Tomorrow I make the big FOUR-ONE.  Too much to handle, being well beyond 29.  But really, I'm stoked to hear you remembered.

We had such a blast with the both of you last weekend!  I think Larah and I have both been going through "missing friends" withdrawal.  Good times.  We've passed on the open invite to the group, though they don't look to be ready to head south until at least summertime.  If the Hopkinses make their way over, would you both be ready to handle *six*??? :P

I'm so glad you got to enjoy(?) the turkey so much.  Hope the beer held out, too. ;)  If not, perhaps some beer-bread...

I noticed you got a lot of b'day wishes on your own page recently.  Is your b'day on the 24th?  My sister's is.  Wooo hhooooo!  United Nations Day!  I never forget that. ;)

Getting pretty silly here.  Work does that to me.  So glad you are both managing well down there, and our group lifted up a prayer for the both of you last night.

Peace.

Well then . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I didn't realize, or I would've said something earlier today.

Have a great day!!
