Just realized that I'm a day late in wishing my friend Leonard a very Happy Birthday.

Birthday Greetings
Happy Birthday to everyone I know who's having a birthday this week: my friends Kevin H. (today), Syd (the 28th), Tommy Jean (the 29th), and yours truly (also the 29th).

Birthday Greetings
Happy Birthday to my favorite (and only) sister-in-law Charlotte (who's celebrating her "Happy To" Day, as my niece would say it).

Birthday Pictures
Finally posted some of the pictures from my niece Emelia's second birthday party. You can find the album here. (I'm still working on my SoonerCon 2008 pictures and should have those and a con report posted sometime soon.)

Birthday Greetings
Happy Birthday to my niece Emelia, who's celebrating her second birthday today.
(I'm going to try to post a current picture of her later today--I'm going over to Tom and Charlotte's later for dinner and a "family only" celebration, and I'm planning to take my camera and get some new pictures.)
UPDATE: Here's a picture of the birthday girl with her new "bubble mower" (which is what I bought for her):
I'll post the rest of the birthday pictures on Photobucket as soon as I can.

Birthday Greetings
Happy Birthday to my friend Nancy, and a belated greeting to my friend Rosemary, whose birthday was one week ago and I forgot to send her a card (but I did see her last weekend and wished her a Happy Birthday then, and I sent her a belated e-card yesterday).

Birthday Greetings
Happy Birthday to my friend Bev (whose birthday is today, but she started celebrating two days ago--our gaming group celebrated Saturday night with chocolate cake and tacky cards, but she's got one more card coming because I forgot to bring mine).

Birthday Greetings
Happy Birthday to: my friend Leonard (whose birthday is today, but our gaming group celebrated Saturday night with some truly awesome Tex-Mex snacks and entrees, most of them homemade--tortilla chips with guacamole and three different salsas, refried beans, rice with smoked sausage, two different kinds of grilled sausage, big soft tacos with steak filling, enchiladas and sangria).

Sunday Photo Blogging
I couldn't think of a better picture to post today than one of my niece Emelia from her first birthday party back in June (this is one that my brother took):
(The figure in the background in the pink shirt is me, and that's probably as much of me as anyone will ever see posted here, except for pictures of me when I was in grade school or earlier.)

Birthday Greetings
Happy Birthday to: my brother Tom (and I hope the card gets there on time because I put it out on the mailbox on Thursday, but for some reason the mailman didn't pick it up until Friday).

Anniversary and Birthday Greetings
Happy Anniversary to: my friends Mike and Bev, whose anniversary is today.
Also, an early Happy Birthday to: my friends Kevin H. (Aug. 27), Syd (Aug. 28), and Tommy Jean (Aug. 29, which is also my birthday, as well as Michael Jackson's--a little trivia I thought I should throw in).
I know I've been lax about not doing my usual photo posting for the last few Sundays and I apologize. I promise to pick it up again next Sunday, and anyone who wants to can call me or send me an e-mail and fuss at me if I don't.

Birthday Greetings (and not much else)
Happy Birthday to: my friends Mrs. D and Gerald (whose birthday was actually last Saturday, and I did send him a card on time).
And that's all I can think of to post about right now . . . I haven't been doing much lately except for trying to deal with the heat and humidity--it was still 101 degrees at 7:30 this evening--and chasing bugs all over the house. Everyone has had a lot of problems with bugs this year because of all of the rain we've been having--I've been seeing a lot of crickets and spiders, and for the past few days I've been dealing with a lot more flies than usual--I reduced the local fly population by eight or nine today, and every time I killed one I saw two or three more buzzing around. I haven't seen any for a few hours now, so I may have finally gotten all of them (but I'm not betting on it--they'll probably be out in force again tomorrow.)
(So I did find something to post about after all, even it was nothing more exciting than bug hunting. Yippee.)

Photo Stuff
Just remembered a few things I've been intending to post about (and kept forgetting because I've had a lot of other things on my mind lately) . . .
First, I finally got around to posting some of the pictures I took at my niece Emelia's first birthday party back in June. They're in my Photobucket account in the sub-album titled--what else?--"Emelia and her First Birthday Party."
Also, I noticed recently that the SoonerCon website has been redesigned. There's a new discussion forum and a photo gallery with pictures from SoonerCon 2007 and one of the con committee meetings. There's also a space for pictures from SoonerCon 2006, but no pictures posted yet.
Finally, I took down all of the pictures I had posted in my Yahoo! photo account. They stopped accepting new uploads and announced that the photo service would be shut down for good in September, so I decided to go ahead and take everything down since I'm sure most of the folks I know have already seen everything that was posted there.

Birthday Greetings and New SoonerCon Link
Happy Birthday to my sister-in-law Charlotte (hope the card I sent got to you on time).
************
I found out a few days ago that SoonerCon has opened an online store where they're going to be selling t-shirts, caps, posters, coffee mugs, tote bags, and maybe some other stuff later on. Scooter says check it out. (I've added it to my list of local science fiction links in case anyone needs to find it later.)

Birthday Greetings and Sunday Photo Blogging
Happy Birthday to my niece Emelia, who's celebrating her first birthday today! Bev and I went to her party earlier this afternoon and I got a lot of pictures, mostly of her enjoying her cake:
I've got more, but I need to resize all of them and get them posted in my Photobucket album later in the week.
(A big "thank you" to my brother Tom for loaning me a couple of batteries for my camera to get me through the party--mine were about to run out of power and I didn't realize it and I carelessly forgot to bring my extra pair.)

Birthday Greetings and Some Yahoo! News
Happy Birthday to my friend Ted (whose birthday is today and I almost didn't remember to post about it).
************
I found out something about Yahoo! recently and I've been intending to post about it but didn't remember it again until tonight.
I said in a recent post that I was planning to add more pictures of my niece Emelia to my Yahoo! photo space sometime soon. I went to my photo space a day or two after that to upload some pictures and read that Yahoo! is planning to shut down its photo hosting service sometime this fall to focus more attention on Flickr, so I'm not going to add any more pictures to my Yahoo! photo space after all.
Later in the summer I'll have the option of moving all of my current Yahoo! albums to another hosting service (which would probably be Photobucket since I already have an account there). However, all of the photos I have on Yahoo! right now are older pictures of Emelia, so I may decide to just take them down and work on posting some newer ones (and I have plenty of those to work with, thanks to Tom).
In the meantime, I've added a link to my Photobucket account to my sidebar and I've posted two new albums of pictures of Emelia there for anyone who's interested in seeing how much she's grown. (I'll also have a couple of albums of SoonerCon photos posted soon--I had hoped to have those posted by now, but I keep managing to get behind on everything.)

Birthday Greetings and Feelin' The Blues
Happy Birthday to my friend Nancy (who I shared a room with at SoonerCon this past weekend) and a belated Happy Birthday to my friend Rosemary (who I also saw at the con and whose birthday was a week ago when I was taking a break from posting).
The con was great and I had a wonderful time, but I'm still incredibly tired and sore and feeling generally lousy, so it may be a few days before I'll feel up to posting a con report and my con pictures. I'm also having a really severe bout of the "post-convention blues"--which, for those of you unfamiliar with the term, is the condition of feeling depressed about a con being over or about to come to an end and having to go back to dealing with the "real" world again. It's a pretty common condition among science fiction fans, and I've discovered today (from doing a couple of Google searches) that it can affect anyone who attends any sort of special interest convention or gathering, not just science fiction conventions. (Do your own search of Google Groups if you want to learn more--you can also search using "letdown" or "depression" in place of "blues" to get some alternate results.)
