Happy Birthday. love that pic of the bright eyed young couple. At least one of you has aged extremely well.
Yes, B Les, Jim has aged extremely well, thank you.
oops that comment was from me, avalon
Are you doppleganging me?
hahahaha!!
Omg I just did it again. Sheesh
Happy Birthday from Great Britain and all the TBP zoo!
Avalon is now doing most of the work on the site. We have been able to increase the number of posts per day by 25% since she began helping me run the site two weeks ago.
AW – brilliant Jim – I wish mine was so keen!
BTW – how do I post pictures and what format is required?
For most pictures, you just right click on the image from its original website and copy image. Then you go to where you want it in your article and click the paste button.
Many thanks Jim – how obviously easy – umm – must get my son to give me some IT briefing! 🙂
Ha Ha well done m’lady 🙂
Good catch Jim, she’s a looker.
I know. Everyone is thinking “How did he get her?”. Must be my bubbly positive personality.
cough Long Island Ice tea cough.
Or you bamboozled her with your knowledge of 401Ks
It was that great hair, bruh.
Judging from the pic its your keen fashion sense and color pallett. Baby blue on baby blue…. you rebel.
Happy Birthday, Mrs. Quinn!
What a handsome couple.
Happy Birthday! Hope to see you again on July 4th.
Thanks for the bday wishes! ❤️
Happy Birthday, Avalon ! James is one lucky guy.
I made her watch the Last Waltz last week. She had never heard of The Band.
IMHO, the best music documentary ever made. I watch it as least once a year.
Have a glorious day. I know Jim could not have managed the site all these years without your support, so I say thank you for your positive impact on thousands of people. I am sure there have been many sacrifices along the way. Cheers!
Me for one – Bravo!
I can easily see the chemistry.
Look at her, pretty, feminine, and look at him, like the cat that swallowed the canary. That’s a good combo.
Great couples start with a strong attraction, after that it’s all about learning to be the person they think you are.
Happy birthday from Meredith and I, many more to come and hopefully we’ll see you on the 4th.
“Great couples start with a strong attraction, after that it’s all about learning to be the person they think you are.”
That^ is how you stay happily married.
He marries her because he thinks she will never change but she does.
She marries him because she thinks she can change him but she can’t.
“Great couples start with a strong attraction” and if they can avoid the above trap they stay great.
Looking at 44 years this July. I’m one lucky guy.
Have a wonderful and blessed birthday Avalon!
Happy Birthday! And may YOU get to enjoy YOUR day in whatever way YOU wish… cuz that’s what birthdays are for🙂🎁🎈
Mr. & Mrs. Be Prep wish you a sincere Happy Birthday! It’s great to see you and Jim working together on this fantastic forum. A husband and wife duo is always going to do great things when they share the journey!
He still doesn’t know what he’s looking for, but he wants Avalon to have a happy birthday!
As do I…
Happy Birthday! I stopped having birthdays. Now I just celebrate that I made it through another year😁
Happy Birthday Avalon.
I’m glad to see that Jim has finally put you to work…and that you’re doing it…
I’m very happy to see that you’ve increased the activity of the site. Two minds working as one.
You both seem very happy with each other. Of that I’m glad.
I’m also glad that you’ve still included our Sunday Morning Classics too. We don’t get very many comments, but I guess we’ll just have to take it. I hope that you enjoy it.
I won’t ask your age though. What kind of a gentleman of 69 years would I be if I did so?
So on this your birthday I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday.
Good music requires good listening, not a lot of talking.
You got that right.
I don’t comment on SMC but I listen to it every Sunday. It’s one of the sites best features.
Thanks HSF. I’m glad to hear it.
By-the-way. I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago about a movie that I found. Did you get? I sent it from my business email address – SaturnIndEqp.
Hi Steve: Good to see you. I am so busy at present dealing with 6 global crises all at once. I really miss you, and family issues resolved for now. As soon as things calm down I’ll get back to you – all well here and planning my move back to Cape Town in early 2023 – so that’s another item on the list!
Hi Peter,
It’s good to hear from you.
I’m glad that things are finally working out for you and that you plan to move back to Cape Town soon.
I’m looking forward to hearing back from you about re-joining our column.
I’ll second Steve’s sentiments.

Thank you Steve, and thank you very much for the Classics and for bringing a little culture into our lives.
Have you been day drinking on your birthday? Avalom?
Thank you for keeping us going Avalon. We love doing it.
Leave a comment or two on Sundays, or post your own favorite music.
We’d love to hear from you.
May I suggest something lovely?
Ahhhhhh…
The very lovely Christine McVie.
Good choice Maggie…
Happy Birthday, Avalon!

And to the both of you. May we all be so blessed –

Admin must be a real softie around Avalon, she looks sweet and very pretty, but also strong, it’s the eyes!
Obviously a great partnership in marriage, and in life.
Happy birtday!
Happy Birthday Avalon!
That is a great photo of you and Jim. What a lucky guy. I hope you are taking lots of photos. You have a good eye so put it to use. All the best,
Gryf
Ok D, the next shipment of Sanders milk chocolate hot fudge sundae topping will arrive with a card wishing you HBD, albeit belatedly.
James, Belle’s “Hopslam” seasonal ales are in season and widely available at the moment in the mitten.
I’m not sure if that, Two Hearted Ale, or Oberon is available in your area? Belle’s is based in Comstock.
If not distributed into PA, then I suppose a sampler pack variety could find it’s way into the same box as the jar of ice cream topping.
You’re so kind! Thank you Lager
Bell’s is the best beer in Amerika — I just read recently that Larry sold out to some bigger company, can’t remeber which one though. That’s a shame, really — soon there will be nothing but super corps, all to our detriment…
I’m from the mitten originally, where are you?
born, raised, played, worked and partied here for six decades, a little too far SE, unfortunately.
Windsor is 45 minutes away.
All the best b-day wishes to you!
Hope you at least get something you want for your birthday, not just a pat on the ass like you’re on a football field (“Good game!”).
Unless it’s preceded by a diamond necklace of course.
Many happy returns of the day… 😊
Happy Birthday Avalon!
Happy Birthday Avalon!! and many more….
Nice shirt Admin, you look like a Beach Boys groupie. 🙂 🙂
It was stylish in 1990
Until I read comments had no idea who Avalon was(great rock club in Boston named Avalon).
So,with that out of the way,very Happy Birthday Avalon!
Now,as for stylish in 1990,eh……
Hope you two have a nice time out tonight!
So,decided to look up Avalon,tis the island of fruit trees and were King Arthur’s sword Excalibur was forged.
Admin.,you did very well,lucky man!
Also, a beach town in NJ where we met. I am a lucky man.
It’s just my screen name for privacy purposes. My real name is Dani. Avalon is the beach town in NJ where Jim and I met a few years back 😉
I’m kind of sad to hear that — Avalon is such a great name !! Happy birthday, may it be a great year for you.
Stucky never misses wishing Avalon birthday greetings. Is old Stuck OK, I’m worried?
Stucky, at least say something. Hope you are OK.
His mother is keeping him busy. He’s been in a bit of a funk. He’ll come back when he’s ready.
Good to hear, I miss his articles a lot. Thanks Admin.
I think he’s ok, he’s on a break
Folks,I think I know what is going on with the Stuckman.
As you know he was in the service,what you may not know was he is a high speed/low ground operator/SOG type.He was key in creating the Delta Unit at the Special Operations Warfare school.
I believe there is evil folks on all sides in the Ukraine/Russia/Nato issues facing the world with potentially nuclear devastating results.
I believe the Stuckman was called up by his country to deal with this evil with “extreme prejudice” and actually perhaps save the world.
While he is on his mission that would make a Jason Bourne novel seem tame his mum is being catered to by highly skilled military cooks and personal care attendants.
Soon he will be back and assume his quite demeanor and thoughtful posting.
On a side note,I ask all here to not let him know I let the cat out of the bag!I do not know what his operator moniker is nor do I want to find out the hard way!
Love the plotting and the characters are top notch.
