10 DEC 04 HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is my birthday
I took the day off work and met with a long-time friend to hang out & do nothing
It was THE most wonderful day!!! =D

And NO this is NOT a metaphor for a birthday
Especially since I am now a fledgling senior citizen (55)

I view this decade as an extremely COOL era . .and I am having a ball!!
Sort of like Kristen and Jeanne . . only not in SF . .LOL!

This is just a tunnel under a major highway in Williamsburg so that we do not have to try to dodge traffic to get from one shopping area to another

the sepia version is here

Happy birthday! eleven day late. :) The crop in the sepia one is better. Much more pleasing to my eye. This one looked awfully drab for a birthday shot. Well, maybe not if you're 55. LMAO! Sorry, it's late.

Happy Birthday!! Not a metaphor for a birthday? It's a passage. Remember that book, Passages? Gag. LOL.

Neat photo. How do you keep your feet dry?

Happy, happy birthday Pete. And yes, the 50's are a great age period to be in. Enjoy!!! Glad you had a great day.

Excellent perspective, Pete.. and I like both versions although I am partial to the b&w..

Wow. someone is older than me.. Yeeeeeeeee freakin haaaaaaaaaw.. And Pete.... baby ... sweetie .. dumplin pie? you do NOT look it at aaaaaaaaalll!

Happy Birthday!!! Now as a birthday wish to you I wish you long life and good health.
The B&W version of this image is very spooky to me. I like the dof and shadows. I also like the sepia version of the image, and the misty effect from the color. Well done

Hey! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! This is a great photo and I love the fact that you took the day off and had fun. People just do not seem to appreciate the true wonders of a birthday nearly enough. now that was one awkward sentence but hopefully you understood it anyway.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

You're 55?? I thought you were my age! I am impressed. Happy Birthday!

...old timer. :)-
Guest 11-Dec-2004 03:39
Happy Birthday Pete! WOW - I haven't been on in a long time. 19 more days till I said "I do!"

Hope all is well....
