I am taking a day off from SST and going out for a drink with this guy.
I wish I looked this good.
My favorite Washington statue. I still feel like that. pl

Happy B'day, Col!
It's amazing how well done that statue of Sheridan is - it invoked some long lost memory of his likeness out of my brain's cobwebs. Looks just like him.
Happy Birthday. Time -- ‘tis the strangest dimension of ‘em of all.
And Borglum’s Sheridan statue is a fascinating one, indeed, and one of particular relevance, at least to me. I admittedly am having a most difficult time understanding Hans Balthasar’s concept of beauty (from what little I have read) and maybe Borglum’s Sheridan presents a strong test of the Balthasar approach to truth and beauty, including that reflected in art.

Happy Birthday Col. Lang! So, what is your birthday drink of choice?
Posted by: Andy | 31 May 2009 at 11:26 AM
I tried to give them up about 20 years ago, just haven't been able to do it.
Have a good one and many more!

Happy Birthday,
Have a good drink, and thanks for the blog, which has been a happy place for me, as I suspect quite a few others.

I recommend whisky and lamb fries (more of the former, less of the latter)

Time for blog honest Pat! How old are you exactly, and where were born? Not doing astrology so don't need time of day!
Keep on blogging forever!
Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday. Thanks for what you do.
Do more than have a drink. Go get a good massage..do something special!
Keep shining the light!
