*** Nice to know our signal is strong enough to reach Germany. Got a call today during the birthday segment from Jerry Peterson, who is currently stationed there. Jerry was calling in a birthday wish for Betty Friant.It wasn't technically a phone call, in the traditional sense. Jerry was using Yahoo Voice, and it sounded great. No delay, and a very good quality of sound.
It was so good, I could smell sauerkraut.
Jerry was in great spirits -- thanks to spirits? Turns out it's Jerry's birthday, too -- and he informed us he'll be back home in a year.
Hurry home, Jerry. First stein is on us.
*** Speaking of birthdays, considering how much my wife is into everything Disney, I wouldn't be surprised to come home today to a house full of pomp and circumstance to commemorate Mickey Mouse's birthday today. He turns 80.
I'll pay homage by posting the song that concludes Mickey Mouse Playhouse on the Disney Channel, and one of our youngest daughter, Sarah's, favorite songs to sing and dance to, "Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Diggity Dog".
