Happy Birthday to Two Great Ladies

As Gary the Ex-Donk notes, today is the birthday of Laura Bush. It also happens to be the birthday of my Mom.

THIS IS NOT A PICTURE OF MOM! Although she does get this look on her face when suffering fools. It is, instead, a picture of Dame Wendy Hiller as Lady Bracknell in an old production of The Importance of Being Earnest that we bootlegged when it ran on PBS back in the day. Mom has always wanted to play Lady B, and her imitations of Hiller saying, "Rise, Sir, from this semi-recumbant position!" and "Prism! Where is that bay-bah?" are priceless. Besides, she'd get extremely crabby if I posted an actual picture of her here.

Anyhoo, Happy Birthday to Mom and FLOTUS!

(And as if that isn't co-incidence enough, the Missus also happens to share the same birthday - July 6 - with Laura's husband. I dunno what to make of this, but I thought you'd like to know.)

I'm pretty sure it means that you, on some subconscious level, want to play "intern" with the President. Just don't wear a navy dress you don't want to be too conspicuous.

Well, durn! I was hoping it had something more to do with finding a way to meet the twins....
