Birthday aftermath

After my Jan. 9 birthday post about the cool musicians who share a birthday with me, an anonymous poster asked whether there any photos of me at my current age, 47.

Yes, there is. And I suspect the person who made the anonymous post also was the person (Thomas Carter) who provided me this photo.

The photo was taken Wednesday during the Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society's Meet 'n' Eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory in St. Louis.

Although I didn't tell anyone from the group that it was my birthday. Longtime ride leader Arlene Willmann knew it was my birthday, and she proceeded to tell longtime member Bobbie Peduzzi about it. Bobbie then decided to have this cake made for me, complete with the group's mascot, Wiener Man!

The cake and the beverages members Wayne Baird and Keith Rhoades were a pleasant surprise and made the day truly special. Thanks to all!

By the way, Happy Birthday to my niece, Sereana, who is celebrating her 15th birthday today up in Evanston, Ill.!
