Pluto is a Planet

I love this tune, Pluto, by 2 Skinnee Js. I believe it's about accepting those who wish to live among us:

Who do you represent? I represent the smallest planet
Attorney in this tourney against those who try to ban it
Who discriminate against the distant and disclaim this
'Cause their small minds can't see past Uranus
But my odyssey runs in 2001 ways
I can see clearly now like Hubble
shoved from the Shuttle, here's my rebuttal

It's a Planet

So lend me your ears and let me state my case
about all the types of satellites we must embrace
Cause like my parents grandparents - this planet was an immigrant

Do it for the children
Do it for the children (if not for yourself)
Pluto is a planet

What would you expect from me? One of my favorite albums is Mister Heartbreak by Laurie Anderson.

It's 4/21

I guess yesterday was the dopers' annual holiday (4/20). Oh well, so I forgot. So much the better.
How are you all? It's been since Bob's birthday that I posted.
No news has been, well, no news. Karen and I are doing well. I am just about to turn in some work under my own masthead and it feels pretty darn good. My client has even promised not to make me wait for payment. This may be a trend.
I understand that we are neighbors with Jim and Patty Van Slyke. I saw Patty drive by the other day but I don't think she saw me.
Karen's birthday is Thursday. I trying to think of something thoughtful to do. Any ideas? I'll probably fix Karen crab legs and wine (beer for me). It's her favorite meal. There's an amusing little seasonal beer out by Boulevard Brewing Co (Kansas City's favorite). It's called Single Track IPA and like everything else by Boulevard, it is excellent. I'll have some on hand this weekend, Greg. We are very much looking forward to your visit.
