Happy Birthday wishes to an old friend!

My friend Phillip Charles Massie turns 60 today, and we're throwing him a party at our house. Luminaries from all over the world are jetting in for the celebration, and we will be gorging ourselves on steamed shrimp and barbecue ribs (Old Wahl Family Recipe That My Mom Got Off The Back Of A Ketchup Bottle Back In The '70s)... and there might even be some adult beverages quaffed. I've learned a lot from my old friend (like how to sell old hand-painted men's ties $3.00 Each/3 for $10.00), and I kinda look on him as a mentor. Sixty years is a long journey... I'm glad you made it, Pal.

And just for fun, here's a couple of pictures of Phill and I from back in 1989 or so when we were trying to get on the David Letterman Show to play him in a game of TWIGGY! I sold Phill that blue 1961 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, which then peed radiator fluid all over his nice suit while driving to Baltimore. Good times.

Happy birthday, old stick.
