June 26, Mini Mean (Maggie) is one year old today. What an enlightenment to my life she has been. To those fathers out there, you know what I mean. Burn a good one to celebrate life. We went to baseball game (Joliet Jackhammers vs. Schaumburg Flyers) (Go Jackhammers!). She had a blast. It was my birthday too, but I'm just a 39 year old pisser, so it pales in importance. La Perla Black Pearl Belicoso has gone up in flames. Soon, a San Cristibol La Punta will end the same way as will as an Opus X or an Ashton VSG. It's a good day for me.

Congrats Mean!! Sounds like you're day was sweet. Im not a dad, but I can appreciate it as I'm a 7 times uncle. I got tons of rugrats over all the time. Burn up some nice ones!! By the way, email me back so I can get that gar out to you!!

Happy birthday to you both! EVERY birthday on this side of the dirt is an IMPORTANT birthday! Never take a day for granted...gosh, I feel all warm and fuzzy all of a sudden...Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya...Wow, I don't know what came over me, I always hated that song...99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer...there, that's more like it! Can I get a 'ziggy-zoggy'?

Oi Oi Oi!

Happy Birthday Maggie! Oh yeah,Happy b-day to you to Ed.LOL

Happy Birthday Mini-mean!...To hell with you Ed. 😉

Happy birthday Mean and MiniMean. I have three grown children and 2 beautiful granddaughters, I know what you mean about enlightenment and count my blessings everyday. Tonight when I light up and have my brandy a toast will be coming your way.

That poor little cutie shares your birthday! Please don't tell her that when she can understand it. Just kidding....glad you had a good day and enjoy the time with her. They sure make it all worth it. Happy Birthday Ed and Maggie!

I reckon the best birthday present you ever have had or ever will have was given to you a year ago. I am headed out to the patio to make a burnt offering in the little one's name. congratulations!

I have a 30-something y.o. son whose b-day is also 6/26 ... we "toasted" you and Mini-M with our cigars, (albeit unknowingly) last night while observing his b-day ... it's pretty cool to have Mini-M sharing the b-day with you ... with 4 adult kids, I know the feeling of parental joy and pride that you speak of ... oh, of course, there are the phases they go through such as the infamous terrible two's, but you'll survive those easily enough ... IF you manage to survive their teen years and are able to maintain sufficient self-discipline that THEY do too, a pretty terrific relationship with your then-adult kid(s) awaits you ... again, belated happy b-day, Mean

Happy birthday, Maggie...that's a great name. Your dad sure seems proud of you. I bet you really make him proud too. You're a lucky kid. Remember to say "Thanks" for all your presents...except the cigars...I think those were for your dad.

WTG Mr Mean,I offered a Padron 4000 maddy last nite as a sacrificial offering. X

Happy Birthday to the Means! Barry

Hey Mean, I've got three lovely daughters (9, 16, 19), I can relate. Believe me, it just keeps getting better every year.

I didn't know that E-chick watches the "man show", wow, your stock just went up!

Thanks everybody!

So, time to make another? Got three myself, 8 and under. NOTHING better!

I've been spending the week with Mom, my sister Mary, her two sons Ryan(10) and Leo (LL cool B 4). My answer to you Cliff is ......no way in hell.

Good idea; there's always that chance you could have a boy. I don't like boys. My daughters are grounded from boys until their 30's.

HEY : 5augie5 ...Of course I watch The Man Show! I love the POOP FLINGERS, Oprah Jimfrey and the Juggies...guess what? I just met Jimmy Kimmel yesterday, June 28, 2002 at the Saddle Ranch restaurant on Sunset in Hollywood...took a picture with him to prove it! My niece was riding the machanical bull when I noticed him with a party of about 12 guys...I went up to him and said, "Hey, I need my picture taking with 'Oprah Jimfrey'....and he said, "Oh my God, Oprah Jimfrey? Come here baby!" and he put his arm around me and my niece and my daughter was next to me...pretty cool...

Ya, but did U do girls on trampolines? X
