sheldonm Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 Robert, Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Birthday! Mark Quote
Robert J Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 Thanks everyone. I'm having a great time. Check this out. For the long weekend, we're out of Oakville, Ontario. In fact now in the US! - Rye, New York celebrating my birthday with relatives. We're up for a baptism and my brother-in-law is moving back to Canada or Rochester in 2 weeks. So my last free stay near NYC. This is also the 1st time out of Canada for my birthday since my 23rd on the island of Ios, Greece in 1990. Now in the backyard sun: kids in the sprinkler, old newspapers and Harpers being read, alternating between Yeungling's Black and Tan and Magic Hat's #9. It can't get better! In May I caught up with Dmitry to see Randy Weston. Looking forward to something as rewarding, though I understand it's a bit quiet in NYC for jazz now. Dmitry mentioned Tito Puente's Restaurant as a venue. I like hot food and jazz. So maybe tomorrow or Sunday. Enjoying my 37th in New York. btw - a true Canadian, I was born on day of the Centennial. Happy Canada Day. Quote

Robert J Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 (edited) Good lord! We let Canadians in here??? The customs agent didn't know where Rye was. All he asked me was if I had beef when I told him I had sandwiches in my cooler. Good Canadian BACON, lettuce and tomato sandwiches. Edited July 1, 2004 by Robert J Quote
Jazzmoose Posted July 2, 2004 Report Posted July 2, 2004 Well...the country that gave me Moosehead can't be all bad. Heck, happy birthday, Robert! Quote
