How nice of all of you!
Hmmm!
What a nice little surprise.
Thanks so much to EB for starting a thread in my honor, and thanks for the cake, (and the corrected version) and all the swell birthday wishes.
All of you have really made my day!
We had a lovely vacation. Almost the entire supervike clan (mom and dad my wife and kids, my brother-in law, my sister, their kid, my nephew) shared a cabin way up north in Minnesota on a huge lake. My brother and his family and in-laws also shared a cabin in the same resort area. We did lots of fishing, sun bathing, family bonding, eating, swimming, etc. etc....I even told my youngest nephews (ages 5,5, and 6) a terrifying ghost story by the campfire. It must have been a good one, since they all ended up in tears and didn\'t want to go to sleep....
I even brought some miniatures with me to paint during the quiet evening times. Both my older nephew (15) and one of the 5 year olds want me to get them started on painting now).
Then to really make it fun, there were \'bigfoot\' sightings in the woods near where we were staying...

I have been a bit of a Bigfoot fanatic since I was just a little kid....Very cool!
Again thank you all for the great wishes...
