Pahk my Feet in Hah-vad Yahd

So my friends in Boston were strolling along Newberry Ave. and decided to turn on Clarendon. So there they are, walking along when they came across the FLOR Store.

And then they saw the nice picture in the win - BAM! - it hit them, they knew those feet! - the feet on the sign in the window - from somewhere.

Looked a little closer and realized those teal colored piggies were none other than Finley Skertich's. And the big kickers to her right are Dad's flippers.

My piggies are plastered across 21 store windows in 18 different cities and two different countries (I'm kicking it up on the window in Toronto, Canada as well). So if you're in the Big Apple, D.C., Hot-lanta, the Big D (Dallas), Denver, W. Hollywood, San Francisco and all the way from Seattle to Miami and you see some tootsies you recognize, you can say you knew me way back when.

Happy Happy Birthday, Andy Bowman

So Dad's friend Andy lives in San Francisco and his girlfriend asked his close friends to send birthday wishes to him via a letter or a message in a bottle or something clever so she could read them to him on his birthday.

So Dad and I came up with this amazing idea to make up a song for him and send it to Erin (his GF) and she could play it for him as our birthday gift.

It took a few days but Mae and Dad and I got a bunch of words together that rhymed with Bowman - snowman, show man, toe man, grow man, etc. - and Dad got out the six string and next thing you know we had a masterpiece.

Then it came time to record it, so we got out the iPad and we were just going to do a first take to see how it sounded, but as you'll see, the first take was so entertaining we decided to keep it, even though Dad's head is partially cut off on screen... yes, it was that good.

Have a new video function here folks. Going to use YouTube links for videos instead, so when you see text highlighted in blue, just click on it and it will take you to the video on a separate page.

VIDEO ALERT
So without further ado, here we go with a birthday wish to the west coast, singing "Happy Happy Birthday, Andy Bowman."
