88
sorry i forgot my camera today cause the old boy & the little kid both had plenty of chocolate on their lips & cheeks after inhaling the dub's 88th birthday cake. wb was in fine form, reminding all present that he was "still a tiger at 88," and that he "could whip all six of my boys, one at a time."
we discussed mr. dimmock, higgins boats, his desire to see buffalo (wasn't sure if he meant the city or the beast), and, of course, the mother.
so happy birthday to the oldest male member of the family. his sister, elizabeth, remains the oldest member of the family at, i believe, correct me if i'm wrong, huntie (wherever you are), 91. little elizabeth mary shaffer, at 13 months this thursday, remains the youngest, though i predict either josh or perhaps chris will alter this reality soon. my bride 2 is pushing for 2.
excuse my moment of sentiment, but watching the dub & the lil bull (alitabit) earlier today makes me love you all despite our differences & many 'tutes.

It's funny hearing you call Elizabeth "lil bull." Way back when, and I'm talking 55+/- years ago, WB referred to Jim as "Bull." This was because Jim was totally rough and tumble, ready at all times to enter head-first into the fray, butting and stomping.
I love that you said all that, Bill.
