Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody.

I guess I should fix the age in my profile. I'm actually not 40. 

Lou

Good job Donna. Congrats on being our first cyberspace falcon.

Wow. This is some footage. Can't imagine being on the receiving end...

..was pretty significant. I watched a 2 hour special yesterday on the Berlin Wall. I can't imagine living in East Germany at that time. One of the most spectacular heights of human stupidity, amongst our many. What a joy it must have been to see it come down 20 years ago.

There's quite a few youtubes on the topic:

This is a 5 part tube:

Some pictures from yesterday...

The group photo was taken before we entered. Others arrived after we went inside. It was good to see everyone!  It was overpriced (IMHO), but it was certainly worth it to see everyone again!

Lou

This one's good too. It won several film festival awards for short film.  Makes you wonder what you would do with the time you had left...

But, you're not working.   

Dana works on Sunday. That leaves us out.

Lou

Okay. Count me in! 

Lou

Okay Dale. If I get you that hat (or a reasonable homemade facsimile) for Christmas, will you promise to make a video of yourself next Summer using it? You gotta keep your head perfectly still, put on a goofy face, and cross your eyes a couple of times.

Deal?

Speaking of hummers, is this guy an idiot or what? :

It figures... All that work, and the dame flies off.  Poor bastid.

Actually, what a rare bird. Thanks for sharing.

Patty,

When you do this trek, don't look down.

Lou

I'm not planning to go on that trek...nope, definitely not...

Patti

I don't blame you. With my two left feet, I'd be dead.

Lou

Dana works on Sunday. That leaves us out.

Lou

Well, not exactly...

This reminds me of when Carol tried to push me in the gorge.
