Happy birthday Old Man,
Happy birthday Hat tie,
Happy birthday Old Maaaaan,
Happy birthday Hat tie.

Sorry, Jay, I don’t know any moving songs. Except Meatloaf’s I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That); that song moves me. Old Man and Hattie are another year wiser and dirtier, and Jay is off to save the world the rest of us so merrily destroy. So we’re having a party. I’m glad we’re not our neighbors. “You guys sure party a lot,” they’ve said. It’s an afternoon party this time, so we can all pass out early. The neighbors will like that. And we can enjoy the nice weather while we’re at it.

Yes, we will have a moon bounce. You must be this tall to ride. Blind-side tackling is not permitted on the premises, inside or outside the moon bounce (eh hem, DP). Wear/bring socks; it’s ok if they don’t match. Please remove all jewelry before entering the moon bounce. Warning: Alcohol impairs your ability to bounce straight: You could lose your driver’s license or even your life. SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Drinking increases your risks of high blood pressure, liver disease, and cancer. The more you drink, the more likely it is that you will have such health problems. To find out how to prevent getting such health problems call (insert appropriate toll free number). SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: If you are pregnant, don’t drink. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy may cause mental retardation and other birth defects. If you are pregnant and can’t stop drinking, call (insert appropriate toll free number).

We will also debut a new game called: “Guess who’s mom drank alcohol while she was pregnant.”

Let me go ahead and tell you, if you don’t already know: Moon bounces are fun. And no major injuries to any of our drunk friends—it’s a miracle. Just minor scrapes and bruises and sore legs for everyone. We played all kinds of games like basketball, four square, count-to-five-with-your-eyes-closed-and-try-to-hit-someone-with-the-ball, and just plain bounced. Plus a lot of rescuing each other from the almighty moon bounce crevasses. The mass bounce with at least 20 people was like trying to stand on water. Moon bounces rule! I’ll put some pictures up soon.

Update: Here are my pictures from the moon bounce party.
And Courtney’s pix.

There probably used to be tags for this post. Sorry, it\'s broken.
