    HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY, KEN TALBOT!!!

    Wow... you went all day probably and thought to yourself... "Nobody's gonna remember me today"...
    And since Kat's pre-occupied this weekend, it almost happened!

    But I figured, what the heck... least I could do was start a thread for ya, and say "HAPPY 55TH BIRTHDAY, KEN!!!!" Hope it's the best!

                      Wow!! 55....and we thought 50 was old!!

                      Well it does come with some advantages like the AARP card, and a retirement!! Guess it ain't all bad to get old!

                      Happy Birthday Ken!!!!

                              Thank you....

                              Thank you, thank you very much!

                              Turned out to be a very good day including cake at morning coffee time at the office and a nice lunch with some of my staff. SWMBO and I went out for dinner at our favourite restaurant with a bunch of good friends, where the chef's weekly special was named in my honour, and the owner provided an amazing multi-layer gourmet cake as dessert for all. Followed up on that with those and more friends over to the house for two more cakes, a variety of beverages, and some great conversation.

                              Ah, yes, like is good!
