This Weekend Was A Party

It began Friday with the celebration of my birthday. Lesse, there's a four and a six in my age, put them together and the possiblities are not limitless.

Friday was great, with Ms. Megablogger and daughter coming up with great and creative gifts to add to the endless supply of merriment and L-O-V-E, expressed in many creative ways... let me count them, Absolut, Fig Newtons, clothing, DVDs (Goodfellas), wow factor was happening. Calls from Heather and the Haleys made it a fun day. BBQ ribs for dinnah, ho boy!

Saturday. Unbelievably hot during day. Hottest in several years, if not decades. Ms. Megablogger escorted me for a fun evening at Black Angus for a N.Y. steak with trimmings like you'd a note believe. On the way home, we were treated to a massive lightning storm to the south. Others, including Blues Bob who ate at Parker's Lighthouse that night spoke of a lightning storm to the south. Kirt Ramirez was in it, camped out in the far side of Catalina, where lightning was right on top of him and his friend. I encouraged him to shop it as a story to the paper.

Sunday. Great fun in A.M. with surprisinly violent weather front - thunder, lighting and sprinkles, followed by great periods of intense heat, while we partied the afternoon away at Bernie Pearl's annual blues bash, jam session and burger/dog/catfish eating and drinking frenzy. Spoke with Abby, Kinzie, Lashley, Walker, Blues Bob, others - no Phyllis as a first. Good fun, relaxing - did I mention hot?
