Today's my birthday!  The boys have already greeted me with hugs and cards and gifts.  They're just great, very cute.  I think they are more excited about my birthday than I am.  My mom was rushed to the hospital on Friday, she had gall stones that had become lodged in the duct and had become inflamed.  They couldn't do the procedure laproscopically so it turned into regular surgery.  This will extend her stay probably until after Christmas.  We will bring her back here for recovery although I know she will insist on going home as soon as they release her.  I'm trying to decide what to make for our Christmas eve get together at my wifes parents house.  It's always alot of fun and by that I mean there will be drinking.  Those crazy Germans can make anything fun just by adding Schnapps and dark beer.  What a concept!Well, I've got to get busy deciding what to do for my birthday, (A) movie, (B) dinner, (C)drinking, or (D) all of the above.  I've got it, I choose D!!!Peace ya'll..................................David
