On behalf of Timeout, who probably is enjoying a gourmet French meal about now, I thank you. It's always a pleasure to meet other Freepers, especially in such glamorous settings as Paris!

Yep - 56 years ago. Yikes. ;-)

A spring chicken, by any measure!

Aw, you're just getting better! You should hear my hubby groaning about becoming 52 (also on the 30th, that's how I remembered). I keep telling him it's not so bad, he's got a really young wife! ;-)

This page is for those few, those happy few diaries that are by people who are actually over thirty and on the web! So get out your walkers and your adult diapers and read our wisdom, baby!

Crocodile tear alert:

HONOLULU -- Former President Clinton's scheduled visit to Honolulu on Tuesday will be delayed a day so he may attend services for the late U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone in Minnesota, a spokesman said Sunday. Clinton was scheduled to appear with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mazie Hirono and running mate Matt Matsunaga at a union rally Tuesday afternoon. That event will now be held on Wednesday, but details had not been worked out on Sunday, said spokesman Steve Hirano. source.

Great pics of you and Mr. Mountaineer and Timeout!

I didn't know you had all gone to Paree. Some day I will get up to speed. :-)

[LBGA]

Thanks for the pics of W and Indiana Jones!

I used to think that Harrison Ford was the ultimate, but then I found out he was a liberal. Now I just want to swoon over his make-believe characters.

My sis was in Jackson Hole a couple of summers ago and while she was outside a retaurant waiting to be seated, he drove up to the light and looked at her. She said he could tell she recognized him and seemed to appreciate that she didn't get hyper. Even though he is a lib, I would have a hard time not getting hyper. My sis is one cool chick. ;-)

[lodwick]

;-) For some reason, that pic of our President in that goofy mexican shirt reminded me of Ford...no other reason for the post than that. I hate to learn that Harrison is the enemy - too bad Harrison. So sad.

Most of you actor people are not really smart, are you?

[LBGA]

LOL... if Harrison Ford could have a brain transplant, he would be the hunk of all time.

Of course, this new brain that is conservative would have to think I am the most gorgeous woman he ever met. :-)

[lodwick]

I guess that we need to hold a fundraiser for Harrison and you...;-)

A super evening to ya. JL
