Our dear friend-brother Clyde David Burberry is celebrating his birthday today -- and I've sent him a link to a YouTube video of "76 Trombones" -- being played by 76 trombones! (Clyde David actually plays the trumpet, but I don't think there's a song for 76 trumpets.) When I asked him to select my tie for today, he got as far as "the color blue," so Beth and I went to my tie collection and chose my Pooh Eeyore tie . . . even though Eeyore said "Well, okay, if you're sure you really want to wear me" . . .
