Life is trouble, only death is not

Rico says the post title is a quote from Zorba. It's appropriate, however, about what passes for the plans for Rico's birthday. (Which will be on 12 April 2012.) Hoping to emulate Rico's 50th in Key West, and trying for another warm-weather destination, it was originally scheduled for the San Juan Water & Beach Club in San Juan in Puerto Rico. (The last time Rico was there, he was two...) But that wasn't working out, so Rico moved it to New Orleans, which Rico last visited quite a few years ago. But that's too expensive, and didn't allow for a lot of people to attend (like the ladyfriend, which is unacceptable). So we're punting, yet again, and it'll now just be a dinner in the Philly area, and a visit with whoever shows up. Hopefully more people will be able to attend. Details to follow here...
