Sunday Shirking

This cover by Norman Rockwell is from May 16th, 1959 is titled "Sunday Morning." I use it as one of my "Gone Fishing" signs. Generally, when you see a Norman Rockwell illustration on my page it means I'm off today. So, that's me hiding behind the newspaper, shirking whatever I am supposed to be doing.

The Party Has Begun!

The partying began at dawn and will continue until after the last ray's of sunshine have left the sky. That's when the fires will be lit.... I wasn't going to post anything today, but when these guys (all old friends) showed up to party, well, I just had to share it.

Today Is My Birthday - No Post Today

I'm 56 years young, or old, today. Ask me after 12 noon and I'll have a better assessment of it by then. It takes me a little longer to get started these days, but I believe some of the old spark is still alive inside of me.

I'm going to take the day off and lay around a bit... Skip making any profound judgements and just enjoy being 56. Truly, there were times when I never thought I'd make it this far!

So, as last year, from all of me to all of you, Happy Birthday! See you tomorrow, and thanks for stopping by. It means a lot to me that you do.
