Wanted: One Birthday Cake & One Spellchecker

One Birthday Cake:
This is a busy time of year in our household. Jonathan turned 24 yesterday and David has a birthday (age undisclosed - you did not find it here!) today. We began celebrating both birthdays with a family lunch at the Outback Steak House yesterday afternoon. We will finish celebrating both birthdays by sharing a birthday cake this evening. Dave is excited because he will get to see a whole cake tonight. Usually, we start with a whole cake on Jonathan's birthday and finish the remainder on Dave's. My problem is figuring out how to put 76 candles on the cake!

This reminds me of the Newfoundland cadet who was giving his witness in a large Corps in Toronto on a Sunday morning. In comparing his life before Christ he said it was like being in a dory (row boat) and pulling on one oar and then pulling on the other. The dory spins and makes little progress. In comparing his life post Christ he said “Now I pull both oars together and loving it all.” Like most of the people I was fighting to keep from laughing aloud. As with many Newfoundlanders he added and dropped “h”s. The “oar” came out “whore”.

Happy birthday to both Joanathan and David. I wish I could have been there to share in some of that cake.
