Happy birthday, Lou! These turkeys might be taking years off our lives, but what else would we rather be doing with those years besides chasing these crazy birds! Fair trade in my opinion

You know it, Jack — thanks!

Best wishes for another year of contentment despite limits, and limitless learning.

You are already a better man than I am, with turkey or without. On so many levels.

I love you, Old Man!

Who are you calling old??

I was out looking for other birds, such as meadowlarks when I ventured down a path and startled three turkeys including one gobbler. The gobbler "waddles” enough to shake his snood and wattle to entertain me. The family scooted off in the brush and I did not see them again.

I am always on the lookout for longer inseams on my shorts.

Happiest of birthdays Lou.

Haha, such brilliant absurdity that one can only take delight in it all! Happy birthday!

Lou Tamposi's avatar

It’s about all I can manage! Thanks, Erik!

I'd still give you the sidewalk because you wear the thirty-ought-five inseam like a true contraceptive hero.

Lou Tamposi's avatar

I almost remarked on your own inseam from that ice cream photo, but was too impressed by the double stack!

I am laughing ... not at you ... maybe with you ... okay, maybe at you. Happiest Birthday!

I deserve it! Thanks, Stacy!
