That’s the kind of sacrifice I can appreciate. (And I’m thoroughly impressed you remembered!) Esprix ---

I am still recuperating from my wildassed July 15th birthday party with the hundreds of Dopers doing the conga line down The Strip and then carrying me into the MGM Grand Garden where Led Zepplin re-united for a one-time-only concert in my honor. Too bad you couldn’t make it. \>\>DMark shuffles through invite list\<\< Oh. Well, we’ll invite you next year. Promise. ---

I put my big floatie chair in the pool and floated around on it while drinking a couple beers. That do anything for ya? It did for me. 😃 Oh, and current squeeze came by after he finished work, joined me in a little floating and err… umm… you know. ---

Damn it! This is the third year in a row I’ve forgotten to pay my homage! I’ll open a nice bottle of merlot and drink an extra glass in your honor. Maybe a couple of extra glasses. You really out to come around more often…we long time lurkers miss the old regulars. ---

In the _pool_. Sorry 'bout that. Jumped to conclusions, and all. That’s what I get for following the you-know-what by you-know-who thread in the Pit. ---

July 19th, I hate to inform you, is my day. I’ve owned if for, well 20 years. One retchedly hot day in July of 1985, I was born. Ergo, I have prior right. Oh well, you can take. All but about three of them have been miserable. Although if you were responsible for the events of last year’s birthday, I will not be happy. It’s really an amusing story, now that we’ve all lived through it. But I digress. ---

I’m sorry. I hadn’t realized. My deepest apologies. For what it’s worth, yesterday was a lovely break from the heat wave that we were having. Temps were down into the high 70s and the humidity dropped as well. Thanks very much for the lovely day **Esprix**. You are the best day owner ever. 😃 ---

My July 19 was kind of bad. Thanks for letting me know whom to blame. Did I not make the proper sacrifices or something? ---

**Esprix,** I have the unpleasant duty to inform you that you have been failing in your duty. When you were given that day you were informed to [Take care of it](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=1925679&postcount=12) . You have been derelict in that duty. On that day in question [you allowed this to occur](http://www.channel3000.com/news/4741946/detail.html) . The results are [visible from orbit!](http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/misc/050719/2005-07-19_1740-1752_HMSN_010403_QKM.jpg) . The head office is less than pleased. 🙂 ---
