It's come to my attention that I don't know what any of you look like. Well, I know what a few of you look like. So this is me endeavoring to initiate some sort of picture thread. These are some shots from my Unbirthday. I'll explain via the invitation I sent out... "Indeed, that time of year is approaching. June 16th. Erin's Birthday and the anniversary of James Joyce's death. I'm all for celebrating people who are alive. In any case, this year's birthday celebration has been tainted by the irksome smoking ban that is being implemented on June 1st. This is why I have decided to bump the festivities up to May 29th (a Saturday). Now, I know what you're thinking. You're wondering why it matters when I can sit on a patio, in June, and smoke my little heart out. Ordinarily, I'd say you were right. However, with my luck, it will rain and possibly downpour. I wouldn't put a hurricane past my birthday luck. For those of you who were privy to last year's entertainment, don't worry, I'm leaving the "The Perfect Drink for Every Occasion" book at home. I won't knock myself unconscious and start singing in my sleep, I swear, and hopefully Alex will not wake up in a puddle of his own vomit. Hang on to this e mail." So I did go out for my birthday on Saturday, and this is some of what transpired. http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeoN3Ddq3bO-g Erin Toronto ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
