Happy Birthday, Benjamin Robert Kleppinger! Ben chose my Far Side® cows tie for today, as a fellow-lover of absurdity. The cows are posed as "barn-less" beggars, driving a "Moofia Staffcar," entering the "Cowcatcher" bar (which is across the street from The Udderplace theater whose marquee says "Now Playing: 101 Dead Matadors"), and wearing a t-shirt that says "Same Manure, Different Day." And today is very special for me because I'm spending it with Ben's daughter Evelyn Marie, who is five months (23 weeks and one day) old! Ben is 12418 days (1774 weeks) old. Here's a link to a Web site to calculate the days between any two dates.
