Happy Birthday Charles. Just remember, 60 isn't 60 anymore, it's the *new* 40 30.

And if you haven't yet, its time to learn to play an Electric Gee-tar! Plenty of websites that give free lessons and I know an online music store where you can get real sweet deals on any Fender Stratocaster and honkin' Fender Amps (authorized Fender dealer).

In a couple weeks you'll be rockin' like Eric Clapton, playin' smooooooth as BB King, or goin' insane on your Strat like you were Stevie Ray Vaughan playing Texas Flood.

60 is jut a number, but in your case, as my granddaughter so elegantly explained to me “but peepa, it's a big number”

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if he were in a union?

You going to have a Lutheran potluck dinner tonight??

No, but I am going to a Lutheran meeting tonight. Our Men's Club meets tonight. Sometimes one of the hunter guys brings some deer sausage.

I just came from the Ladies' Guild meeting. One of the women, who grew up in Germany, made a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake). It was dee-lish!! I asked for a second piece. She gave me two more. I did not refuse.

I lost about 30 lbs when I got away from behind that desk at the end of 2011.

I need to lose at least 20 pounds, 30 would be ideal. I'm 6'3", 250 lbs. right now. Eating three pieces of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte at the Ladies' Guild meeting is not going to get it done. Getting back in the exercise routine will.

Only two logs per hour. More than that, and he makes the other woodchucks look bad.

Now Li'l Beaver--he can chuck a LOT of wood!

Happy happy ... may you have lots of aged liquor and young babes to serve it. . . .

PJ, I just bought a bottle of this Flor de Caña Centenario (12 years old) rum the other day. Had some over ice. It was very smooth and nice.

It did not come with any young babes, though.
