Hello! Hi! I've missed you! As you can see from the photos above, I have been busy. SOOO BIZZY.

DIRTY dancing. In all seriousness, the collage above shows ...
"It's daddy's birthday, oh yes it is, and it is today!" This birthday chant has become a tradition in our family -- mostly as a joke -- after having seen "Festen", the dark, dramatic play based on the Danish movie, on Broadway.
