Ordinarily, I'd decry the nashvillen tyranny. But since it's your birthday, I'll let you have this one. [;)]

[nashvillen]

You are just so kind! Thank you! [:D]

Good evening friends.

Tallinn, Estonia tithe.

NATO stuff, Grollub? Give my regards to the slavering bear just across the border, will ya?

Slow cooked pork ribs transferred from the slow cooker to the barbeque for a bit of color and 'finish'. We picked a whole mess of fiddlehead ferns, cleaned them and sauteed them with some homegrown chives and brown butter too. One of my favorite 'vegetables'.

Hi all,

Good morning!

Hi all,

Big floods (almost unprecedented) in the east of my country (and neighboring countries had been hit much much worse - scores of people are dead and missing and thousands are evacuated)... [:(]

It's a brand new day! tithe.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, Brothers! [&o][&o][&o]

My birthday was a smashing success! I completed my first Century Ride, finishing up at 102 miles in the Tour de Cure, raising money to fight diabetes. I also made a new friend on the ride, who it turns out lives 2 blocks away from me in the same neighborhood! [8D]

Then, my lovely bride had a great dinner prepared with some friends and she baked a pumpkin pie for me!

Friends brought me a big bottle of Meyers Rum, and Sara and Alex somehow managed to get me an official Masters logo polo shirt! I didn't realize it, but you can't get them anywhere but at Augusta National, and you have to be allowed in to even get to the pro shop there. Sara worked a connection with her old college room mate who lives near there and volunteers at the tournament. They get pro shop privileges one day a year and picked up the shirt for me. I love the shirt, and love the effort to obtain it for me.

I'm a lucky guy! [8D]

I'm taking a half day of vacation this afternoon to take Alex to get his full driver's license. I get an extra hour of sleep every day, starting tomorrow! [&o][&o][&o] [:D]

Leo and Schanilec, I saw some footage of these. [X(] We have had our share of severe floods in Middle Tennessee (May 2010 for example), but that is devastating to see.

Congratulations on it all, Mike, especially the century ride. I did my last one for my 50th birthday a few years back (I was 20 for my first one). It's a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when you complete one of those. And to find a new riding buddy to boot... very nice!
