Awww.... Thank you. :love:

This afternoon I had a phone appointment with my Doc. When the MA called, she asks me "What's your birthday?" I said "Today, 1956." She said "No, what's your birthday." I repeated "Today, 1956." She asked me "Why do you keep saying that?" "Because you keep asking me 'what's your birthday?', and I just answered your question." She said "I don't understand." So, doing my best not to burst out laughing, I said "70 years ago... Today." After about 20 seconds of silence, she says "Oh! It's your birthday!" I said "Yep." I thought she had finally figured it out, then she asked "So how old are you?" I snickered, then we both started laughing. She says "Happy birthday!" :LOL:
 
I stopped thinking about run of the mill yearly birthdays a long time ago, but 70 years is seven decades. That me sit back and think "WTF???" On the plus side, at least I did not get Colon Cancer two days before my 70th birthday like in 2016 when I turned 60. I've had Skin Cancer several times, and my Doc in Eureka said even though that is somewhat minor in the grand scheme of things, I was still a Cancer Survivor. I laughed that off because is was minor. But when he said I had Colon Cancer, and the Polyp was 0.5mm from breaking through the Colon wall, which is smaller than the size of the ball in a fine point pen, and he got it all. I was convinced... Now I believe I am a Cancer Survivor.
 
Robert Cray played at the Blues by the Bay Festival in Eureka several times while I lived there. I saw his show every time he came to town. It was held in a place on Humboldt Bay called Halvorsen Park, and on a bluff across the street, sitting up about 40 feet or so higher than the park was the county library. Behind it there was a sidewalk, overlooking the bluff. For people who didn't have tickets, that spot offered a great free pass to the Festival. It was as if you were about 200 feet from the stage in the nose bleed seats. You did have to bring your own seats though. I downloaded this photo from the local newspaper website, it must have been taken from a small plane. The place where I was is strait across the street from the large tree. There was an excellent view from there, and of course, at that close it was loud and proud. Great shows!
