Hey St lukes, I didn't know you were a sexy scorpio:coolgleamA: I guess you'll be having some steaks, a bit of wine and rolling stones with your lady tonight...happy partying!
Happy birthday :)
Happy birthday Stlukes. I'd send you one of my magic lemon and honey buns but, alas, they have all gone...:skep:
Happy Birthday!
I enjoyed reading the interview... :)
Hope you have a great day. :)
Happy Birthday St Lukes - and many more of them.
The interview was a good read.
Hope you have a great birthday!
Happy birthday. I was mildly suprised that The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of your favorite movies.
Happy birthday, stlukesguild! I hope you stayed in your speedo, cowboy boots, and feather boa for the whole day. :biggrin5:

The Sistine Chapel is magnificent. I'm confident you be there gazing up at the ceiling.

Happy birthday Stlukes, so many birthdays lately, and so little wit I have to generate original things to say to everyone.
Thanks all. AS birthdays go it was a good one. We were given the day off because of elections and so I spent most of my time in the studio painting and listening to Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, J.S. Bach, and some Indian ragas. This was followed by a marvelous dinner out with the wife and a close friend... including three Long Island Ice Teas. Amazing I can still type.:sosp:
Happy birthday, dude.
Found the birthday thread and the interview. Apropos of the former, Many Happy Returns. Apropos of the latter, here are some additions for your collection:

and until you can make it in person, how about the rollercoaster-like version of the experience:

Not quite the Sistine, but if you're ever in Chicago I can get you free admission to the Art Institute and we could bemoan the woes and struggles of the elitist set in person. :)
