Someone very special turned 60 today. S was served greetings throughout the day from associates, friends, and family around the world. He began the day with his very own rendition of Gangman Style, conceived by Abba, performed by many family and friends, and masterfully molded by JC in Seattle. Well done, everyone, I got to hear the signature laugh several times today as he enjoyed watching and rewatching it. For my part, I was rather surprised how many people in my family have rhythm. We should probably form a dance club and challenge people....after we practice a little more.
When we got in the car to go to an art festival, S was greeted by our driver waxing quite elegant about how auspicious the 60th birthday is and how he hopes to be like S when he reaches that age, complete with lovely wife (I didn't make that up!), etc. Then he presented S with his very own turban, which is a very Rajasthani thing to do, and is something worn only for the most festive of occasions, like a wedding, important meeting, or a 60th birthday. It looks great, as you can see in this photo which features S posing as either a Maharaja or imitating Ben Stiller in Zoolander, I can't decide which. Some of both, I think.

Here is a link to the interesting art festival we attended, and snaps of other people greeting Steve on his special day, and some interesting birds that passed through the garden today to put in their 2 cents worth. Many happy returns on the day to someone who has aged well. Keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteThank you all very much. I enjoyed a delightful day, starting with the great video, of course. The turban was a little tight, but it is dashing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday. It's a memorable one in many ways, right? You look very important in your turban. May it bring you many more memorable years!
ReplyDeleteThe turban & pose are top notch. Well done.
