Happy Birthday Wendy...or..."Kiss the Girls"

Friday nights are all Blackstone at the Boneyard.

Just like Norm and Cliff from "Cheers," we have our own "corner" of the bar, which they reserve for us. It is rare for our entourage to number less than a dozen, and on this night we had over 20 friends on hand for a combo birthday-going away party. Wendy was 39 again, and Tracy is finally making the big move over to Martha's Vineyard to live with her fiancé Fred. Fred and Tracy got engaged over the 4th of July weekend while we were up in Maine. They plan to exchange vows when we return again next year, which will surely make the weekend even more exciting.

Linda was on duty behind the bar, her smile always welcoming, and her libations tasty. For those of you who wonder whatever happened to Tina, she's on days.









Now, I don't know for sure if it was the shots that got Amy and Reba feeling extra frisky on this night, but something got these two going...

Whoa! First it's these two....then it's....

...these two....and then....

...would anyone care to try for three??

No doubt you regular readers will find it shocking that Jackson would encourage such displays...












Yes, there was definitely something in the air - or in the booze.

These wimmins just couldn't keep their hands (among other things) off of each other!

Now, my girlfriend Susan is sort of new to all of this craziness, so while all this was going on in front of her, I had to wonder what she was thinking...



But, before I could find out, Wendy was making her move...

Wendy just loves a shy and demure type...

Of course I'm standing there cheering Wendy on... (don't worry Ed, she'll come back to you!)

...but Susan's pretty much all set with kissing other women, so for now....

A nice little hug will have to do! When I did get that chance to ask Susan what was wrong with a little tongue among friends, I can't say I was surprised at the response I got...

Er....ah....well, I guess I won't be bringing that up anymore! LOL!!!

It should be mentioned that in between the girls kissing each other, the rest of us still managed to have a good time too.

It's impossible for me to take pictures in the bar without Jackson giving me the finger at least once.

My "brother" Fred is usually good for one too...but "the love eagle" is in fact a sign of affection and brotherhood between bikers who know each other. When people start being nice something is wrong!

A couple of bearded clams in their natural habitat...

Yes, you know there were shots....how can you do a proper toast without them?

I don't mind if Wendy hugs her...but I think I'd rather do it myself!

Is that really necessary??? If he's good for a middle finger, he's good for some tongue.

Fred and Dave...here to prove that there actually are benign, non-sexual moments among us.

Tina (we already nick-named her Halle Berry) and Wingman, getting to know each other. Unfortunately, Keely has since went the way of the buffalo.

Joker? Oh hell yes, I can tell you some stories honey...one time Jackson and he...

They did NOT!!!.........Yeah, they did!

It wouldn't be a true night out for Wendy's birthday without her taking a walk up on the bar.

Believe it or not, Wendy is on a VERY short list of women who are allowed to do this, and even then only for a minute.

No Fred, you can't go up there with her....!!

When you get right down to it, Fred just takes the cake....

Happy Birthday Wendy!

Good luck Tracy!
