The Way He Were…


The Birthday Boy Himself, showing how he used to celebrate
 surviving another year:  by  attempting to drain a bottomless keg.
 (As always, the keg won – then, in those good old MAD-less, DD-less days,
 Mikey drove Himself home, closing one eye and squinting with the
 other to bring some clarity to the road ahead.)
Tonight, however -- responsible, reflective, old -- he’ll cut to
 the chase and just stay home.  A couple of glasses of merlot
 with Donna’s Special Dinner,  maybe a cigar out back with Casey,
then an ice-cold Yeungling to grip  while nodding off in the 5th inning
 of the Yankees’ game.  Now THAT’s the mature way to celebrate.
All the Best on your Big Day, Mikey J!

  1. 5th inning? Try 12th inning! Okay, true, it WAS a day game after all...

    PS: funny, I don't remember this photo being taken...
