Just a quick note to offer “Happy Birthday” greetings to two friends of S&G. One is my nephew, Andrew Maloney, who turns 11 today. It seems like just yesterday he upstaged my 40th birthday by taking his first unaided steps (with his shoes in his hands rather than on his feet). Frankly, I was grateful for the distraction. Cunning kid: He waited until he had a big audience — a half-dozen McKees and Maloneys — to spring it on us.
Also getting a year better today is S&G pal Julia Carcamo (pictured), part of the “comeback kids” at Isle of Capri Casinos. Besides any friend of furry animals deserves a shout-out whenever possible.
