    James, may you have the most lovely day that sets the tone for the most fabulous year yet! And? I would be from a city far away if my Bo-Peep mother dressed me as a lamb. And put it on the internets because it’s so precious. It is, but you’re a manly man now.

    So I’m still a newbie. I had NO fucking clue that you were old enough to have a 12 year old son. I mean – I met you in person! What did you have him when you were 10????

    Anyway – Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday, James. Have a REALLY, Happy Birthday. 12 years old.

    On my 12th birthday, which was almost 51 years ago, my Dad said to me, “Son, don’t take any wooden nickels.” I learned what he meant by that later, as I grew older. I thought it was a joke at first. But it wasn’t. It was good advice. And so, with your Mom’s permission, I’ll pass it along to you.

    Don’t take any wooden nickels.

    Well – this is my first time commenting here. I’m breaking my lurkiness to tell you thankyouverymuch for getting a song stuck in my head that I’ve been trying to forget for two months – which is when my son discovered the glory of James & the Giant Peach. lol

    Happy birthday to your son though!!

    What an adorable young man! I’ve lurked for a while, but today is my first post. Its a strange world, but I saw your play at the Pickleville Playhouse a few weeks ago and had no idea it was you, until I looked closer on this blog! It was strange since I had read you a bit and then saw you performing. My head was kind of spinning. Anyway, you always crack me up. Thanks for always being such an honest and great read.
