Well, I prefer to drink it with my mouth, but to each his own, especially on your birthday.
ETA: I’m not sitting across from you.
- 4:something p.m., IIRC.
I share the exact birthdate of Miss World 1994
So, what? No picture? 
I believe that on that date, my parents gave me an album by ELP. Ooh, what a lucky man I was.
Whoa whoa whoa there. I think I’m the only female to have committed to being at this here party.
'Course that doesn’t mean we can’t recruit from adjoining tables, or the surly waitresses.
Yep, just food and talk, and nothing else.
If Dottie waits our table, I may have to rethink that, though. Dottie is the hawt.
…
Let’s try that link again, this time with a correct address.
Oh, good times! Wish I could make a trip up to the Hub to celebrate with you, tdn. Have a Sam Adams and think of the Hollow clan, all three of us!
drewbert, thanks for that. Happy birthday to all three of us.
You and your lovely wife will be missed. We’ll be thinking of you. We’ll toast you. 
Bolding mine.
I remember you and your wife…is there news?
Hey there tdn and lorene - Hippy Hollow, Jr. was born on October 5. He’s delightful. And a major reason why I don’t post as much as I used to.
Y’all have a blast!
Wow. Congrats! Happy birthday to the little Hippy.
Was Mrs. Hollow showing back in July? I remember her, but I don’t remember her looking pregnant.
That’s exactly what I was wondering. Congratulations to all!
Pessimist.
Not a problem.
Congratulations, Hippy.
Still DP at 6:30? Work knows that I will most likely be a tiny bit late. So yes, consider this my official notice to make the proper reservations. If we even need to for an mid-afternoon dinner.
Great. So it looks like five of us, six if gigi can make it. I’m not sure if that needs a reservation, but I should probably go ahead with it anyway.
Thanks for the invite, but weekdays are difficult, and Thursday is the worst of the bunch. Happy birthday all the same, and have an Indian pudding for me! (No coffee jello, though – can’t abide the stuff.)
Thanks.
I’m not a huge Indian pudding fan. Maybe Boston cream pie. We’ll see.
Take pics please!
I’m going to try to overcome my reserve and make it.* Will you bring something fun I can look for?
*If I don’t, don’t be offended. It truly is not you all, it’s me.
