Happy Birthday !

I thought I’d try and be the first one to leave you a message today. I suppose that is easy as I am in the UK and most of the Bloggers are in the US or Canada….

Enjoy your day in Miami and here is a big kiss from me and our Thingy.

Always love your blog thingy. Looking forward to and will enjoy reading your stories of being back on board as CD.

John,
Cindy and i both wish you the very best. I know that spending your birthday in a hotel is not as exciting or as glamorous as being at home with Heidi and thingy and the rest of your family having spent many a birthday traveling myself, But unlike me you have a very distict advantage….. you my friend have literally thousands of folks right here on the blog to spend it and celebrate it with you.
Remember it has been said that the true wealth of a man is measured by the REAL friends that he has and in that case my friend you are by far one of the riches men in the world…. and both Cindy and I are very PROUD to call you FRIEND …

To our FRIEND we wish you a very happy birthday (you old sod ) oops fingers slipped …

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!! I can think of no one who deserves the best birthday ever more than you do–a day without Mr. Murphy knocking at your door, a day out of the doghouse, a day without Mrs. S Nob, a day free of diabetes where you can eat whatever you like–these are all things that I wish for you on this very special day! ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!

sailed with you on the imagination when she was new back in 95/96
get a real kick outta the blog, as a slightly overweight gentleman myself i have lived through a lot of what you talk about when traveling. missed you a couple of times by a week, or two when you changed ships early, hoping to sail with you again.

keep up the good work and keep telling yourself life begins at forty (hasn’t worked for me yet)

My birthday was Tues. I woke up thinking it was going to be the best birthday yet . Mrs. Kuki told me she was getting me a hooker.

She did, but she moved into our basement, and the new rug is almost done.

See you in N’awlins!

Happy birthday John, It doesn’t seem like a year since we were helping you celebrate your birthday on the BC1. So many great things have happened since then. You have gone from checking the smiley stick to looking forward to the birth of the wee little one. This time next year you will no longer be John, Heidi’s hubby and the senior CD and one year older, you will be a FATHER.
We all wish we were there today to help you celebrate.

Happy Birthday to John Juan
Think of it like a fine wine – not the usual box or screw top type – the older it gets, the better it is.
Have a great one.

Your last one before you become a daddy. Just think – this time next year you’ll know whether Pampers are better than Huggies, and you won’t be able to get anything out of any cabinet because they’ll all be child-proofed (which means that only the Thingy will be able to open them).

Your special day is a wonderful time to thank you for the many ways that you make a difference in the lives of so many others.

STEPHANIE – PLEASE PASS ONTO JOHN

John -

My orthopedist is celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary on March 25th and asked me about a cruise for him and his wife to celebrate. This man has been very good to me over the years, taking care of my various maladies without hesitation, so I owe him.

Specifically, he asked about a four-day cruise from a port proximal to Philadelphia. He has children, so I am assuming that the cruise length request is related to this issue.

As near as I can tell, this cruise would be his first cruise.

It looks to me like none of the northern ports open for business before late April, so it appears I have to send him south to sail.

Questions:

1. Are you aware of any cruise lines that sail out of any port north of Norfolk in March?

2. Are you on any ship the week of March 25th?

3. Have you got any suggestions that I might pass onto him?

Your help is appreciated.

Your friend (and foil)

Jon

P.S. I miss the repartee of the original blog.

Oh my gosh if I would have known in advance it was your birthday I would have made you a sugar-free cake and sent it to Miami – so now our “best wishes” will have to do.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday – I am sure it was not has “Happy” as it could have been since Heidi and the “thingy” were not in Miami with you but I am sure you felt their love and wishes across the ocean.

See you on the Dream in December.
