Forthcoming Birthdays all fall in to the "in-law" category, no ages mentioned. My US sister-in-law, Maggie, celebrates her **th birthday on the 2nd November. My UK Sister-in-Law, Kay, celebrates a major milestone on the 4th. My Father-in-Law, Joe, celebrates on the 7th ish and will continue to be a "Senior".

John has a Concert with the Spokane Youth Orchestra on November 8th at the Fox Theater in Spokane. I believe this is the same venue Steve Martin and his band (yes, the comedian) wll be performing in later in the month. Elizabeth and I have tickets to ee John but not Mr Martin! Perhaps John can tell a few jokes?

Thanksgiving Day will be with us at the end of November. Elizabeth and I hosted the turkey and pumpkin pie last year. Maggie will be the hostess in 2009. I am doubtful that brussel sprouts will be on the menu.
