Hi Friends!! Is it Thursday already? What a week. I’m actually very excited for tonight because I am taking Bobby out on a date.

Happy 59th Birthday, Papa Bender!

January 11, 2011

1-11-11. It’s somebody’s lucky day. From then: To now: You continue to amaze and inspire. Always the practical jokester, you never fail to brighten a room with your corny, silly sense of humor.
