Docho,
For clarity, “curling” is the thing where you fling another thing (looks like
some sort of smooth rock) towards a whatchamacallit while trying to keep from
slipping on a slick sheet of ice that is being swept with brooms by what appear
to be 2 almost sober but somewhat well-dressed janitors. This particular
reference to curling has nothing (directly) to do with downing a glass of cold
beer, (other than the beer-laden spectators, who are downing drinks as fast as
possible because nothing is as boring as watching curling, with the possible
exception of watching a cricket match…...).
Just wanted to make sure that we were talking about the same thing….

Ace,
Happy birthday!!! I’m one of the below that wished to remain anonymous. Pick
out the nicest one and assume it’s from me. Let me know if you need a curling
partner.

“Ace”,
For whatever reason, a number of SOGAGGers approached me to provide an official
birthday greeting to you. So let me begin by saying, all of SOGAGG (local,
international, intergalactic, subterranean, deep-ocean, and imaginary chapters)
send their greetings and best wishes to you for the happiest of Birthdays.
As the founder of SOGAGG, you define our past and our future. And as far as
the present goes – we didn’t get you anything. [Nothing new here…. But in
lieu of that, each of us is going to buy something nice for ourselves. And I
know that you wouldn’t want it any other way…..].
Several SOGAGGers wanted to send you a personal message. Some actually
attached their names to these messages. Others wished to remain anonymous.
Since I forgot who was who, I am listing all of these messages (in the order in
which they were received) as anonymous. (BTW, this is how I sign my checks to
the various charities being claimed on tax returns to the IRS. Am also
claiming golf expenses under “mental health medical expenses”. It has occurred
to me that these decisions may have something to do with the need to keep
changing tax accountants. But I digress….).
Here’s what I have received from the various SOGAGG chapters, thus far….
· Once in many years, people with great passion and brilliance are born
into this world. They are people who aim at greater things in life. And
today, one of them would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday.
· My advice would be that you grab two pieces of birthday cake – one in
each hand (for a balanced diet). Have a great day!!
· Happy Birthday Ace!! Enjoy another 364 days of an all-expense paid
trip around the sun.
· Ace: Thanks for always being older than me. Happy Birthday!!
· You keep getting younger – only in reverse. J
· Happy Birthday to an 18 year old, with XX years of “working
experience”…..
· Ace, I wanted to post the fanciest birthday message ever on facebook
for you today – but I had ‘typer’s block’, so Happy Birthday
· Getting older happens.., getting up is a choice. Think about that on
your birthday, and every day after that…... J
· Happy Birthday! And remember this – If you lick all the frosting off
a cupcake, it becomes a muffin. And muffins are good for you. Happy Birthday.
· To someone (like me) who is old enough to have a Blockbuster card.
Happy Birthday. [Will there be cake???]
· Ace, I was going to mail you a birthday card, but my internet
connection came back just in time to send KD this message. So Happy Birthday!!
· Remember, no matter what birthday it is, you’re never too old to be a
professional curler.
And finally…,
· Ace, I was going to make you a delicious rum cake – but I decided to
go with a regular cake. And now I’m too drunk to bake.
So there you have it. An entire compendium of Birthday Wishes, from these,
your friends. (Try not to be too depressed about your choice of friends --
just feel the love…..) J
Hope that you have a wonderful birthday.
