KHW

Wow! Well I am finally starting to come down after the celebration that was Friday. I would like to thank all of you for a fantastic birthday celebration. If it’s this much fun, I may never stop turning forty.I hope that everyone had as much fun as I did and sorry for all of the stress that I put you through with the talent portion of the party. But see, I told you that you were all very very talented folk!

MML is allowing us to keep up parts of the art show throughout this week so that people who were unable to attend the soiree will be able to view it. Please feel free to contact the visual artists (or me and I’ll put you in touch) if you now realize that you saw a piece and really can’t live without it. You may find Richard, Todd, and Geoff at the local open mic nights so check your venue listings. I believe that Joanne and Sue are performing at smoke-filled coffeehouses/speakeasy’s. To all those whose talents were culinary, there is no evidence remaining!

Thanks, I think, to Sue for providing the karaoke (and for donating all day to party preparation) and to Matt Nussbaum for keeping us “abreast” of life in New Orleans and at Mardi Gras.

A huge thank you to all who helped with planning, set up, clean up, and just letting me know that you were there for me.

PS. Thank you to all who unnecessarily, but very sweetly, brought bday tokens. I am unfortunately unable to put gift givers names with a Queen of Hearts bottle of wine and with a cool book of “miscellany” by Ben Schott. Please let me know so I may properly thank you!
