Hey Alibelle! Happy birthday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Alibelle!
Hey, anyone who spent their childhood in or around Boston -- remember "It's fun to find out what your voice really sounds like"? Check it out: [link] I'm kind of stunned how old that ad is, and how old it looks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My 40th was back when we lived in NYC. I got a tattoo that day and I showed it off to a bunch of friends meeting for dinner in an Indian restaurant. It was nice.
My 50th rocked but was not fancy. Lots of folks gathered in our yard which we had decorated with lights and sparkles. Yummy empanadas, Lori made Sangria and my friend Heather brought a delicious cake. And then we surprised everyone by announcing that we had eloped, which was the most fun EVER.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy Alibelle Day!
I'm about to shower, make a last-minute dairy products run to the corner store, and then head off to church, where Hec and Emmett will meet us an hour later with Matilda's birthday cake: thence, off to a small mostly-family party at my dad's house. And then possibly the pirate store; Hec has to do all his final edits and typo eradication by tomorrow, so it'd be a great good thing for the rest of us to be out of the house for a while.

Possbily the most random survey question EVER: Does Goldie Hawn have a "jewish" "persona"? I said no, my boss said of course. Who's right? You make the call.

What's a jewish persona? and I say no.

That's why all the "quotes" -- I dunno for sure. And I know how wrong the whole thing is -- keep in mind this is the same boss who got into an argument with another Jewish coworker about "can you tell by looking if someone's Jewish." I guess like if you were going to ask an ignorant question like "What are jews like?" would Goldie Hawn be in your answer?

I decided a while back that Sopranos cast members don't count as actual celebrity sightings because there are just too damn many of them. (Though I'd probably make an exception for running into James Gandolfini or Edie Falco.)
My standard lazy pasta sauce is generally just olive oil+garlic+parsley, top w/ whatever hard Italian cheese is in the fridge.
Right now I'm having a very Buffista-controversial lunch - Cincinnati-style chili. Served over spaghetti as is right and proper, and containing massive amounts of cilantro.
In baby news, E and I took an infant/child CPR class yesterday and have since decided that D will be spending the remainder of his childhood wrapped in bubble wrap and kept away from EVERYTHING, as apparently there is nothing in the entire world that is not potentially deadly to little babies. Today he is being exceptionally cute and doing a lot of vocalizing. He's got human speech patterns down pat and will cheerfully babble at you if you ask him a question. Next stop: consonants!
The weather here is gorgeous and so as soon as he's up from his nap I think we'll go out in the backyard and play.

The only reason I know Goldie Hawn is half-Jewish is because Adam Sandler put it in a song, so I'm going to say no.
