Happy Birthday

Today is the birthday of my partner in life and work, co-owner of Gemini CollisionWorks and two incredible cats, Ms. Berit Ann Johnson.

She now has 32 years behind her.

I am very very lucky.

We did a belated birthday celebration the other day for me after Sunday afternoon's rehearsal - Coney Island, Nathan's, skee-ball, soft-serve ice cream and a walk on the boardwalk, watching macho teen boys get scared in the "Top Spin" ride (they never see how bad it's going to be), the shooting gallery (still about the same as the first time I went there in 1979) - and today we'll do something she wants to do.

She's in the shower now, so I don't have to hide this post ("WHY are you posting about my birthday? No one CARES!"). Then we'll go out to breakfast and drive the car over to the area of The Brick/The Battle Ranch as we have rehearsal over there tonight.

Then we'll train on in to The American Museum of Natural History, which we like to go to, but usually wind up going too late in the day so we get kicked out before seeing everything we want to (always closes at 5.45 pm - keep it in mind if you ever go there).

We want to see all of the Evolution exhibit (which we were just into when kicked out last time) and they have temp ones up now on Horses and Snakes & Lizards that I'm looking forward to.

Then, we gots a rehearsal - sorry, hon, should have thought of this when planning the schedule - but we can have a full day to ourselves before that. That will be nice.

Oop, she's out of the shower now and I need to jump in. Should be a nice fun, then productive, day.
