January 10, 1942

A day which lives in righteousness and wonder. Oh, you betcha that’s The Amazing Bob's, MY Honey Pie’s birthday all right!

That's him (duh), counterclockwise from top right, with The Infant Green Miles, Bob the high school graduate, with our semi-evil first cat/overlord Rotten Ralph, with our sweet kitten Coco, with MOI as a young terror, in his Bill Lee for president Tshirt and, at center, with the now adult/out in the working world Green Miles.

How did we celebrate? Calmly, peacefully, happilly and with much CAKE. (CAKE is always in caps and, often, seen in boldface. Why? C'mon mes amis -- it's CAKE -- this is serious shit!) We did the totally necessary one stop worship shop at Saint Fratelli’s where TAB picked out a lovely gold cake with Vanilla frosting sprinkled with some sort of brightly colored confetti confection. Jen, Oni, Bob and I actually managed to eat our spectacular dinner of Bistro Chi Chinese food before diving into CAKE Heaven. Yea us!



The festivities continue on Saturday when The Green Miles along with his Lovely and Talented Paramour, Bethanie motor up from New Bedford for dinner and, natürlich, more CAKE!
Oni, Jen, TAB, Miles and me


And, just for context and shit, here are some other awesome folk born in the same year as my Liebling:
 
Muhammad Ali
Elvin Bishop
Paul Butterfield
Aretha Franklin
Norman Greenbaum
Carole King
John McLaughlin
Jean-Luc Ponty
Andy Summers
And there's Paul Simon who's a few months older but in the ballpark.

Yep, that was a fine ass year for humans!
