And may I please have the name of the restaurant? I have a 35th anniversary coming up.

🥂

🦞

On his 30th birthday!

I don’t look a day over fifty-six.

On another spin around the sun! Have a great night, a wonderful weekend and a spectacular year!

Meanwhile, I CAN’T STAND THE SUSPENSE!!!

Hoping to see a good news post in the very near future.

My first foray into Canadian whiskey. The bottle is nearly empty. My next selection will be Canadian Club.

Congratulations Aristus on your DU anniversary!

This is great; I get to call you dear!

...something else I might enjoy. Is there a story behind the name? There must be.

I so hope this interview leads to a great job. You deserve one, for sure. Fingers crossed.

And many happy returns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that's 56 exclamation points for 56 years, if that is the right number)

I wonder if that’s a world record for exclamation points.

I’ll look up to see how the Mamie Taylor got its name.

After I look for Between The Sheets and the Screaming Multiple Orgasm.

…as their age, along with assorted smilies/emojis representing their favorite things, and timed to arrive at the moment of their births. One of a few family traditions. Fortunately for them and for me, they were both morning babies, so no middle of the night texting - 9:34 and 11:08 Eastern Standard Time.

Seeing as you and I are members of the health care family of professions, I decided I’d include you in the family birthday exclamation point tradition.

Both were born at Bethesda Naval hospital, courtesy of my husband's Air Force career.

As you would know from your time in the Army, health care is free to active duty military and their immediate family members. The only thing you pay for is the food if you are hospitalized, and back in 1990 and '92, that was $8 a day, so both pregnancies basically cost nothing even tho I had amniocentesis with the first one (I was 38), chorionic villi sampling with the second, (I was 41) and C-sections both times.

Military health care may not be perfect, but it's pretty damn good.

and have a wonderful night on the town. Don't do anything I wouldn't do..haha..

I’ll drive to the restaurant, have dinner at the restaurant, and drive home from the restaurant.

At my age, that’s a wild night out.

to and from.. my wild night out.

and may the coming year be filled with all the very best of everything for you!

We will, of course, expect a complete report on Saturday, with pics, if possible!

And vibes sent, fingers crossed, for your perfect job.

Ever since Photobucket started charging its users, I haven’t had an image host to post pics from.

But I can furnish a full report on the dishes served, and my wine selection. The restaurant has a superb cellar of top-end burgundies.
