Godzilla crashes the birthday party

I have to be brief. This is the week from hell. Workwise, that is. Many things to do. Little time to do it. Plus, I have to be out of town for an all-day meeting Thursday. Not looking forward to it, but it's not an option ...

Anyway, I did take some time off over the weekend for my wife's birthday. She's 10 months younger than I am. So I figured some age-related birthday cards were appropriate.

But what to get? I was stumped until I saw this one. It features one of my favorite movie stars. A big guy in the movies. One who knows how to put his foot down.

So ... Here's the front of the card:



And when you open it up ...



Yes, she got a kick out of it.

We went off to get a birthday pizza with my son, and we had a good if quiet day. I've been wanting to take her for a real dinner (as in steak), but that has to wait until life gets less ridiculous.

I've got to run off to a school board meeting very soon, and dinner will be ready in minutes, so I'll stop here. This is the toughest week. Next week: not so bad. The week after: not bad at all! But this week ...

Wish me luck. I'll try to catch up on blog alerts once I get back--but will surely fall far behind again later in the week.
