Yes, my son Bobby's birthday is today. I remember the summer birthday issue well. I'm sorry.

Thrive to spite them
I wish i had an answer for you sj and the party problem.
My birthday is in June but pretty close to when school gets out so I don't think it was too much of a problem because of that. Or people were less busy I don't know.
The year my brother and cousin who was living with us got chicken pox and mom canceled my birthday party then everyone wanted their kids to come and get exposed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think this is probably why I only had a couple of birthday parties as a kid -- I'm not a summer birthday, but still terrible timing (12/26).

I sent Bobby a birthday email today at 9:50, the time of his birth. First time I have tried contact in a while. We'll see if he bothers to respond. Ugh. My sister sent me a picture that had been posted of him and he didn't look good at all. 28 now. I hope he gets his act together. His brother is kind of there at 30. I think I came into my own around 30.

Art Crawl!!!
I hope you hear something, Laura.
Relatives who refuse to communicate are so frustrating.
Lovely to catch up with everybody. I am still loving my job at the library - school started here last week & it was not bad. The thing I’m dreading is that I am working this Saturday, I.e., Corn Fest Saturday. The library is right off the Midway & we have few regular library patrons & so many people coming in to use our bathrooms or get a drink from the water fountain.

I have just made half a dozen onerous phone calls. TCG is annoyed that we’re paying for a birthday party that will consist of maybe five kids bowling. Two of whom at siblings of her friends.
The plumber is here because our tub won’t drain and my in-laws should be here any minute to take ltc overnight for a couple of nights. I want everyone to go so I can put on some trashy tv and collapse on the couch.
Laura, I hope you hear back from your son.

Trashy tv on the couch sounds like an excellent plan.
When we went bowling a couple days ago there were 3 kids in the next lane and that seemed like a lot to control to me! They do have fun though. The kids will probably beat my score!

I played with a round with ltc when we were in Cape Cod and did horribly. So I’m out. If TCG wants to play he can feel free.

Four adults and our scores ranged from 36 to 66! And we were sober. The guys had a host of excuses, but Lana and I just accepted that we didn't bowl well. A good time was had by all.

I did far better when I wasn’t sober the year before.
