Timothy's Birthday
We just got back from Tim's birthday party. He turns 50 on the 31st. It's hard to believe he's reached that age when I met him when he was 28 and I was 19. Everyone was great. It was fantastic to see him again and to see his wife Vickie after such a long period of time. It's been years. Oh, and his girls! Both are grown now and beautiful. The last time I saw them, they were tiny little children. Hell, I remember Casey being born. And Addie was just a baby when Tim and I started working at BMG. Timothy and some of his musician friends made all manner of music starting about halfway through the party. They did Bluegrass, Country, some Rock, and Folk. Oh, and Tim sang "Ring of Fire." He looked directly at me and said, "Y'know, Johnny Cash!" Oh yeah, I know. He's never read my Redeye Grandé post which heavily features good ole Johnny, so that was surreal. I may have to send Vickie a link to that post, so she and Tim can share in the hilarity of the mighty Do Wacka Do. It was a wonderful party and a wonderful night, and I'm grateful to Vickie for inviting Aunt Tudi and me.
