\u2026and today, it\u2019s freedom from any kind of schedule, except for getting up early this morning to go bird-watching, sort of. But it\u2019s already almost five o\u2019clock, and I can\u2019t figure out where the day went. I\u2019ve been looking around for it, but no sign anywhere.<\/p>\n
I just re-read my last entry about the birthday festivities, and we didn\u2019t do any of the stuff I wrote about \u2013 no badminton, no croquet, no board game Cranium. We did eat and drink and have fun anyway, thought. B. (Bradley) came over early and he, mom and I played the guitar, flute and keyboard, but I observed that as others arrived, they seemed to all drift out to the deck instead of staying inside to listen. The dogs seemed to like it, though \u2013 well, at least they were barking a lot.<\/p>\n
After the eating and drinking and singing happy birthday and opening gifts and eating cake, somebody realized that my keyboard has a bunch of songs programmed into it, and they kept playing \u201cla vida loca.\u201d At the same time, you can play the keyboard, and one of the settings is called \u201cDJ,\u201d so when you hit a key, instead of a note, there\u2019s a male voice that says stuff like \u201chey! Hey!\u201d or \u201cDJ!\u201d or a sexy female who says \u201coh yeah.\u201d Highly amusing, especially in combination with La Vida Loca.<\/p>\n
Some people played the tambourine, others the maracas, the castanets, and everybody danced. Lots of energy, and not too many accidents. Afterwards, B. and Randy and I played a cutthroat game of Boggle \u2013 Randy was in the lead most of the time, but B. snuck up and beat him in the last round.<\/p>\n
I have lots and lots of photos, and I\u2019m going to put up as many as I can right now. First, you may recall that I went to a st. louis cardinals baseball game and got to sit in the FRONT ROW:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
here\u2019s an actual ball player signing an autograph. he\u2019s probably a very very famous guy, although i don\u2019t know who he is. he plays for the pittsburgh pirates, that much i know:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
and here is Pujols, a very famous cardinals player. i know he\u2019s famous because many fans were wearing “pujols” t-shirts.<\/p>\n
