These are some recent birthdays that have taken place, and if you couldn't be here for them, they are now online for your enjoyment.

Chris, Mike & Jason surrounding our main-man Matt! This is outside the infamous Fairway Bowling Alley where WCVB-TV used to tape their Candlepin Bowling show. Don't know what candlepin bowling is? Then you aren't from New England.

Matt basically resetting his own lane after some pins rolled into the middle of the alley. This is what happens at Fairway -- the 50's decor inside matches the aging equipment from the 50's that is simply not up to today's moden Candlepin Bowling needs.

The Man With a Maiden Name, Chris Clarke-O'Leary seen here with this *first* attempt at candlepin bowling. (And he is proudly from New England, too....)

Ben and Matt at the "Pro-Team Players Only" entrance ;)

And now on to Ben's Birthday ... classic Philadelphia!

There is very little that I can add to this image, other than to say that that's the underwear she and Julie gave Ben for his birthday...

Matt and Emily taking a break from the exhausing Philadelphia rant going on at the other side of the room...

This photo was actually taken at a Newswatch party, but my two photos of DAVE (far right, and star in the HappyTalk section) were blurry! So this is to document his presence at Ben's birthday ;)
