Of course he isn't. He has a new whatchamacallit.

And here I thought this would be a link to a cute "Old Barry" photo of some white-headed, toothless old gentleman.

Oh well!

Happy birthday, Barry!

Happy day, Barry!

Mary - am I imagining it or has inflation struck hard and fast -- $2 to $10 in such a short time.....!!!

From: Barry Finn

Thanks Tom for starting this. AW Shucks! Thanks you guys, I'm not getting older, I just keep getting restored back to original. My daughter came home from college yesterday to tease me for the day & my son wants a new computer, so everything was as it should be, it was a fine 56th. I'm figuring that at this rate when the restoration is finished I'll be vintage at 33.
Love you guys
Thanks
Barry

Not only did she go from $2 to $10, but her grasp of all the other
facets of Inflation were spotlighted at Getaway by The Poor Horsemen Of The Apochryphal running a-fowl and chasing down a bunch of flocking birds onstage to the accompaniment of the odd chance vocal.

But as for Barry, he should be able to write us a sea song about waking up after a night of SINS with all his belongings gone in an almost empty room, and having to go back to the ship, not in women's clothes or in a barrel, but wearing, say, a moose head and a bunch of other tacky items beyond description. There are other songs about recieving "gifts" from Ladies of the night, but none as yet dealing with gifts like only SINS could bestow.....

Until such a song could be written, I wish you the best throughout the year designated by this birthday and hope to see and hear you again at Getaway this year. We're all glad to be Barryed alive for another 12 months.

LEJ penned the "Ballad o' 102" to commemorate the infamous group in the room at the end of the hall at the Getway. Barry looked like the youngest guy in the group, but he slept more than the rest of us combined.
See if you can guess which verse describes our Birthdya Boay.
Happy Birthday, Barry!

The Ballad o' 102

In the Central Lodge
where I was housed
There was a Brave Lad dwellin'
and he would rise
Deep in the night
and put the heat on "Grillin'"

another Lad that dwelled therein
a Celtic boy and darin'
and he were known
throughout the Camp
for the Cardinal hat he was a-wearin'

a third dear boy
a troubador
with his Martin was a-willin
and he were forced
to wear a horse
so the Bourbon he was swillin'

another hailed
from Canaday
beneath his bunk was a-crawlin'
we saw him hide
and there abide
when for his fair wife he was a-bawlin'

and lastly he
who bunked under me
from this Lad songs came a-pourin'
a kindly friend and gentleman
though he shook the rack wi' snorin'

Through joy and care
we dwell-ed there
and passed the partin' beaker
for the hours were gold
but truth be told
that the Room smelled like a Sneaker

Happy Birthday Barry, from an overseas friend, I have never enjoyed a journey as much as the one with you on the way back from the Getaway, yarning like a coupla old sailors(which we are) and time just flew, some of your tales were classic, especially the Diving mask tale, it is all in the timing of the way you told it!!, Your Friend, Micca

Many Happy Returns from another user of replacement parts. Most people are the same age as their gums and a bit older than their teeth. Then there are those of us who scoff at such annual retention.
I say HIP HIP Hooray for a maturing BF.

Thank you all. Being 1 day older than 56 I can truthfully say that I am delighted that I still feel younger than I look.
