Annual Reminder
Now that we have that pesky 4th of July nonsense behind us again for another year, it is time for me to remind you all that there is, in fact, a world outside of America. Calm down, I am not making this up as a bedtime horror story, there really ARE other countries outside of the U.S. Not that I am suggesting for a moment that you should care. However, now and again there are important events from abroad that need to be brought to your attention. Such as Bastille Day which just so happens to fall on the 14th of July. Bastille Day is the French equivalent of the 4th of July . . . only 10 days later. Historically speaking, though, the events leading to the holiday occurred before America actually became “America”. [Why is it that all of our holidays celebrate horrific historical events such as wars and revolutions and beheadings???]
More importantly, by far, the 14th of July is my birthday. You have 24 hours in which to shop and ship overnight to me. Remember, I have simple tastes . . . I only like the best. Run along now little shoppers!

Is it time for your 29th birthday already? Time flies! I’ll overnight a box of wine and a case of AA’s immediately.

AA’s? yeah right, I thought you had the 12 volt model with kick stand and unleaded fuel.

I’ve got a DVD you can have, still in the manufacturer’s wrapper!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! So glad I checked in. Hope you are doing something FUN — Friday birthdays are that much more reason to get a little wild and silly (who, you?)

So? Any fun birthday updates we need to know about? I bet I know one thing you got for your birthday…

See what happens when I don’t check in for a few days?
You go and have a Birthday.
Well Happy Belated,

I have to tell you, your birthday is FAR more important than ANY French holiday.
