Joe ~

Happy Birthday, fellow moderator!  I hope it's a good one for you.  See you on the 25th, for brunch, at Maxwell's in charming Worcester, Massachusetts.

Happy Birthday, Joef  ;D

You are one of many forumites who encouraged me to get a BAHA - and for that, I'll always be grateful!

Hope you had a wonderful day.

Well, ditch the facebook and come back here!!  We miss you!

I try to never work on my birthday - haven't gone fishing yet, though.  Maybe next year.

So the big question is, did you catch anything?
