When a boy calls home with important info he has to talk to the Lump (first year term for college freshman because that voice over the phone would bring a lump to your throat).It has to be Gene.
Until recently, I’d answer the phone and get “May I speak to your mother?” After getting all grown up, I’d say, “I am my mother!” My mom was the same way. Once someone asked to speak to her mother, and she said, “Being as how I’m a Senior Citizen, I don’t have a mother!”
BTW, Happy Birthday in advance, Kent! Last Tuesday I was 79.
edclectic: My wife tried that for my twenty-somethingth. It wasn’t quite like the picture, but we literally got a miniature firestorm from it – in-rushing air and flames at the center some five inches high.

Yes, Happy Birthday! I’m not that old, but I do remember when the Beatles came here.
