6/26/08: Had the great pleasure of attending, last weekend, a
grand soiree in celebration of my love's dad's 80th birthday. Gathered
amid the delicious strawberry margaritas, fresh tacos, the killer
ceviche, fabulous guac and mouth-watering dessert fare were family, new and
long-time friends of Joel's, all come to wish him well, and enjoy a
hot Saturday afternoon talking and
laughing, catching up and telling tales. A wonderful time was had by
all!
Here are some moments caught on
film. Happy Birthday, Joel!

Here's a snippet of one of the many tales told that day, this one about either a
piece of fat or a bone (depending on who you believe), the subsequent
choking thereupon, the revival and consequences of alerting the wife,
and an important glimpse into the priorities of the birthday boy:
And this one about a "matinee" - little more need be said here:
