I hope you are a having a great day, Gemini #4.  I’m sorry I won’t be there all day today, but I’ll see you this afternoon!

Think about where you want to go for a birthday dinner!

I  love you, Mom.

 

You are Gemini #3.

Hope all is well in Mpls.

 

Gemini #2

 

Now begins the glut of Gemini birthdays.

So New Orleans will host the 2013 Super Bowl.  That’s great news, since it means that the Saints and the state reached an agreement to keep the team in New Orleans until 2025.

The last time I was in New Orleans during the Super Bowl was in 1997.  Jamie and I marched up and down Bourbon Street chanting “DITKA AND SAINTS IN NINETY-EIGHT.”   I’m pretty sure that Jamie, a Rams fan, was laughing at the Saints, but I believed.  What a fool I was.

Even better, this Super Bowl will fall on Bacchus weekend.

Let’s hope they redesign that logo.  I like the idea, but the execution is awful.  “A Perfect Ten”?  Yes, I know it’s the city’s 10th SuperBowl.  It’s still dumb.  The street sign looks like a license plate.

 

Except Mondays.

No, it doesn’t bother me.  In fact, I kind of like it.  If you know me, you will know that I enjoy having a uniform of sorts.

The sooner everyone accepts this, the happier I will be.

 

Happy birthday to my favorite sister-in-law!

 

I’m not a JazzFest purist.  Sure, I’m not a huge fan of Dave Matthews Band playing all the time, but I know the good times to be had by acts likes Bon Jovi.  Lionel Ritchie taught me how to love the hit makers at JazzFest.

Bon Jovi taught this guy, who rocked out for the entire show:

He was just as much fun to watch as Ritchie Sambora’s talk box solos.
