Think Louis is getting greedy- he had a birthday last year. It's supposed to be your turn this year miss Kenton

Had mine already this year, Stapfam, but we shan't speak of that, except to say that my "getting on in years" causes me to forget to capitalize proper nouns!
So sorry, Louis!

Birthdays at our house are called "Anniversaries of 39".

Happy Anniversary Louis!

Hi louis,

Cheers from me too. It was a pleasure meeting you at the Great Finger Lakes Bike Tour and I was appreciative when you wrote this gracious post:

I was further gratified to see a subsequent note about you from a fellow BF correspondent I’ve met on the Forum:

It IS great to associate a person with the persona…Louis DOES look like his avatar, but a little less buddha-like.
To which I replied:

You be the judge. Here’s a picture of Louis, Miss Kenton and me at the GFLBT this June:

Thanks again everyone. Love that Buddhist card.

I look half toasted in that pic Jim posted. That always happens when I'm around wine and women....

Get well soon. You have to get in a pretty long ride before it gets too cold to ride.
