Ode to my bro'

Couldn't find a card that had just the right message for my brother's pending (1/30) birthday, so came up with this ditty:

Happy birthday to you

Brother's now sixty-two

There's still hope for you, Lew

But for what, haven't a clue

Not to worry, we are of the teasing = love school of affection. Linda approved, too, so I'm golden. Just hoping this and a bag full of mystery novels for his upcoming beach vacation with sister-in-law Donna will do the trick.

On other fronts, I learned that the Alexander's show is open to the public. The show is Saturday (1/31) night at 9 at Alexander’s Restaurant, 60 N. Westfield St, Feeding Hills, MA 01030-1606. Phone: 413-786- 1127 for more information from the venue.
