Thanks for the birthday wishes.  Had a nice shrimp lunch, a few relatives over, drank beer.  It was nice.  I threw a party a few weeks back for my birthday.  I took everyone out to Gulliver's, the restaurant that we usually go to in November, and introduced a few people to their pan pizza.  Everyone enjoyed themselves.
The best gift was finally fixing my Bally All Star turret bowler.  I had two problems that have been plaguing me for years.  One was fixed by adding another ball, the other with a ball peen  hammer rolling over some metal.  I always heard the expression "use a bigger hammer" to fix something, but I never thought that situation would ever come true.   

  It's great to get through a game and even multiple games without any failures.
