Me, too.


Shake hands.


Mmmph. Not that one.


Snagged three treasures in this morning's lawn clean-up: A Dr Pepper can with a few sugar ants and a picture of Indy Jones being convinced of something 'with a fist!'; a squashed plastic bottle with a label boasting glacial water from Iceland; one shiny half-inflated mylar balloon decorated with colorful packages and a big 'Happy Birthday!'

I could see it glowing in the grass from the front door. I thought--Oh boy!

Good day for a birthday.
