Happy Birthday!

Today I’m celebrating my 39th Birthday! That’s right, all you wisenheimers who might feel a need to correct the record, I’m celebrating my 39th Birthday.

As I recall, on my 39th Birthday we, Brother Carl and I, went to Las Vegas. We had a great time, as usual. We did things like gamble, drink “free” soft drinks, eat at restaurants, not buffets, and ummm … experience the nightlife, so to speak.

We went to Vegas a lot in the ’90’s, maybe four-to-five times a year so maybe the birthday was just another excuse to make the drive from Sandy Eggo to Lost Wages.

So, today we are celebrating my 39th Birthday!

Really don’t know what else to say about this day. The Iowa Caucuses are over and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum came is second to former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by eight votes in the Republican Caucuses. President Obama won the Democratic Caucuses. If you’re surprised by that, take your meds.

Texas Governor Rick Perry will most likely drop and out and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich finished fourth and vowed to get some payback on Romney for all the negative ads Romney’s superpac unleashed on Iowa voters this past month that took Gingrich from top of the polls to … err … fourth place in the voting.

Who knows what’s going on in the other campaigns, and quite frankly I don’t care. I’ve been fantasizing about a President Santorum making good on his campaign promise to outlaw birth control. Just imagine driving to Canada — or Mexico — to get your Trusty Trojans.

Did you ever see that movie with Jake Gillin … can’t spell his name, and Anne Hathaway? She plays a woman with Parkinson’s Disease (I think) and her character organizes bus trips to Canada for seniors to get their medications. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there other than going to Mexico to get my Trusty Trojans made me think about this movie.

Jake Gillin … someone please spell it for me … plays a pharmaceutical salesman who is one of the first to sell Viagra. Anyway, forget all that. I was just trying to remember the name of the movie, which now will require me to Google it. Anyway, doesn’t matter. If you have prurient tendencies, as I might have, or you probably have, then you would like this movie because not only does Jake What’s-his-name get stark raving nude, so does Anne Hathaway!

So, I’ve just Googled the movie, which gave me the correct spelling of Jake’s last name: Gyllenhaal. Great actor; he was in Brokeback Mountain and … a few others. The name of the movie in which he and Anne Hathaway get totally nekkid and have lots of sweaty sex is Love and Other Drugs. So, if you think either of these people is totally hot and would like to see one or the other totally nude, rent this movie.

Back to going to Mexico to get my Trusty Trojans. President Rick Santorum, defender of the faith, America and the family. He would annul all gay marriages in America, attack Iran and make the wealthy wealthier without adding to the tax burden on the Middle Class, at least not as much as the other Republican candidates for president.

But this isn’t about politics, although the Iowa Caucuses is a big story. This is about me and my birthday. Yes, another year. Since the last one I’ve been in love, lost my job due to losing my voice and, really, the saddest news, lost my lovely sister Elaine to cancer. I’m going to miss her forever.

So, the happy news: I share this birthday with my younger brother Ken, born just eight years after; and we share this birthday with the lovely Playboy model Erin Fox!

So Happy Birthday Ken and Erin! May you have many more!
