Thank you for the well wishes.  It looks like I am starting to get this birthday thing down.  Maybe a few more and I'll have it.  Ms. Smoke did surprise me with a unique birthday cake.  It is made out of cup cakes and held together with a thick layer of frosting.  We went out to dinner with some friends.  I had a turf and serf dinner, New York steak and bacon wrapped shrimp.  Mighty tasty.  Anyway, it was a good 'un.  78 down, nobody knows how more to go.
