Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
They done good
When I came home today, my wife sung happy birthday to me while my son accompanied her on the didgeridoo:
What with all of us laughing and Jake insisting on getting the entire rendition done without mistakes, it took about thirty-four attempts before I got my song. Afterwards, we went out for sushi, and then we came back home to chocolate cake (which, cuz of my reflux probs, will have to wait until tomorrow).
I’m a very happy man.
D.
PS: This was Jake’s idea, by the way — pretty damned original, if you ask me. Also, he wants me to mention how he actually sung “Happy Birthday” through the didgeridoo. No mean feat.
Happy Birthday!!
Sounds like fun –
Sushi –
YUM!!!
Happy birthday.
Where the heck does one get a didgeridoo? (That doesn’t involve flying to the other side of the world?)
That. is. fabulous. Happy Birthday, Doug.
Happy Birthday Doug!
What an awesome treat your son gave you. Very unique too.
Thanks, folks. Maureen, you can buy a didj online — just search didgeridoo (or didjeridu, an alt spelling). Or go on ebay. They’re beautiful instruments and usually not too expensive, either. And it doesn’t take much to learn to play.
Thanks again, everyone. I didn’t mean to milk TWO rounds of “happy birthday” from y’all, but I was very happy with my family yesterday and wanted to share.
Oh, very cool.
I need to find a digeridoo. Sounds like a perfect Christmas gift. The only question is which of my sons would I give it to? Maybe I need two.
So what kind of presents did you get?

Hey, my son reads this blog. Let’s keep it clean.
Dang…that certainly raises the bar for the festivities my family’s planning for my husband’s birthday later this week. Jake is too sweet for words.
Where in the world did Jake come up with this idea? Original indeed. And I’m glad you got some birthday acknowledgement that you enjoyed so much.
Wow, Jake. That’s a great accomplishment. Way to go.
Belated happy birthday, Doug!
[…] Reruns. Better than bupkes. By Walnut For all of you folks living on the edge of despair, take heart. Things can turn around overnight. I can’t go into details — would you believe it? I have limits! Who knew! — honestly, I’m happy to tell you anything about myself, but when it affects my family or my friends, I have to keep shtum. But let’s just say that starting with this, I have become a happy man. […]
