   It’s true, Brian. I am not exactly proud to know Cooper. But I do feel lucky that right at the start of the earthly hell known as eighth grade, I met a kid who was into Eric Burdon and that we have remained friends all these years.

   I shot a petite video in honor of his birthday and before the day is done, I hope to collect the tiny accessory I need to move it to the ‘puter and upload it.

   Meantime –

   ¡Feliz cumpleaños, Raúl!

   Cooper is now 2,438 years old, if I am not mistaken.

   Correct me if I’m wrong, my friend.

   When Cooper’s a hundred,
   old and blue,
   Just a couple more years,
   And I’ll be also.

   As Amanda Mae says “Kielbasa!”

   Thank you all. You are very kind.

   Ah, 430 BC, it was a very good year, not just for little hooligan infants like me. The Peloponnesian War was just beginning and no one knew how badly it was all going to turn out. And that loon Socrates was wandering around with a dazed look on his face asking us “What is life?” but not sounding at all like George Harrison.

   Thank you.

   PS: I still listen to Eric Burdon. (“Have you seen Tina Turner?”)

   Have you seen Tina Turner?
   Mmmnh, baby, you have not seen Tina Turner?
   You don’t know what it means
   To feel like a man

    Hey, Coop – happy belated birthday. I’m late to the party as always, but, the wishes are the same.
