Bob's "Surprise" Birthday Party

Does he look surprised? I'm not sure as rumor has it that Bob got wind of his "Surprise" Birthday Party at the Black Forest Brew Haus in Farmingdale on Sunday, October 11, 2009. But, "Surprise" or not, he does look happy!

Unlike his usual taciturn demeanor, Bob was happily chatting-up all his friends. (equating Bob and "taciturn demeanor" is a good example of irony!).

"Oh wow, I even get a Birthday Cake..."

"Are they going to want me to blow out all these candles?"

"Here's where we see if all that Hypoxic Training really helps..."

After the cake and all the good Birthday wishes, we asked Bob if he would mind posing with the group. He said "sure, no problem" but either the message got garbled in translation or the fact that it was Bob's 60th Birthday celebration got to him for lo and behold, Bob took his 60th Birthday Group photo with the Red Hat Society. Doesn't that just beat all?
