On This Day In History

Yikes. Mine & Victoria's birthday thread took a rather unexpectedly grim turn there right at the end. Terrible news.

I was going to chime in, but the last couple are conversation stoppers.

Many many happy happy Chris.

Yeah, tough to feel cheerful at this point. Liberal application of the '06 Thomas-Labaille Buster is helping a bit. It's not so tropical as the '05 was.

But thanks!

Time to open some Pur Sang.

Wish I had some. That stuff got pretty expensive a few years back.

Just you wait. His wines are going to going to climb in price faster than used bandoneons on Craigslist did the week after Astor Piazzola died...

Tropicality be damned! Time spent with Buster will cure any sort of uncelebratory mood you may be in.

Which I fear you don't.

Of course he doesn't. He's the Picasso of cluelessness, a true natural genius of the art.

But thank you all for your kind remembrances. I'm off to Kinko's now, to have new business cards printed up:

Picasso? Nah, I think it goes waaaaaaay beyond that.

Happy birthday, Chris. You too, Joe!

Best,
