Did Someone Say Party

Holy crap kids....I'm just coming up for air and feeling normal after what turned out to be one of the biggest rolling birthday parties ever....all thanks to the Long Suffering Child Bride, Loinfruit, and friends.

So after all the hoopla with the most talented Haze over at Studio 524 and all the fantabulous peeps on Vox I was feeling pretty good about the birthday thing and ready to take it easy, after all I'm half a century old now and tired from all the hobbling around-- I was told last week by my knee specialist that he is 95% sure I need surgery on my left knee if I want to continue to ski, run, cycle, tennis etc...which I do. (we're waiting to be scheduled for an MRI as I write).

But the LSCB had other ideas. First she flew Big Daddy and his wife from North Carolina as a surprise, then she organized a suite at Oracle arena and filled it with all my buds to watch the Warriors play the Clippers (Warriors won) as a surprise. The party rolled on through the weekend with lunches and dinners out, copious amounts of wine, naps in the afternoon, phone calls from mates around the world, too much cake and brownies (thanks Haze I'm officially old AND fat now) and much hilarity...bum knee and all.

Thanks ya'll....too bad I can't turn 50 again....http://photoshow.comcast.net/watch/Iy9KV7Iv
