Here's Graham preparing for the party.
Sorry - it's the OTHER little KID getting ready for the party 

"Mommy - is that Graham coming over to see me?!?!"

Young & young at heart . . .

I should have brought bigger hats 

"Actually, Pat, I'm smiling on the outside, but I'm gonna get
Debbie for doing this to me."

Ok, we have a multitude of captions for this next one;

(Skipper) > "I said I'll have ONE more pitcher of beer."
or
(Skipper) > "THAT goof ball, over there."
or
(Skipper) > "Go ahead - try & bite this off now!"
or
(Commander) > "Wamb baw lab geb."
or
'Cone Head'  vs  'Cone Face'

"Well, I have so many presents, but I'll start with this envelope - there's
gotta be some cash in it . . . . "

"Couldn't you guys have gotten me a card with bigger writing on it,
so I didn't have to hold it so close to my face?"

(Zambooka Chic) > "Well, I don't get it."
(Skipper) > "I'll explain it to you on the way home."
(Commander) > "Woman, don't you GET it?"
(Guy in the background) > "I got it!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh - STOP THAT NOISE!"

Meanwhile, back at the marina . . . . 
All are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the birthday boy.

Unable to restrain the joy of the evening, Gumby joins me
in a chorus of 'My Way'
(Check the great Elvis poses)

I guess it was cool that October evening, as witnessed by the fact 
Zambooka Chic was wearing a winter coat - but, alas, I was having too
much fun singing & working up a sweat to notice . . .

Too bad the birthday boy wasn't here to enjoy his party . . .
Looks like we were having a delightful time!

Ohhhh - he finally decided to show up!

Graham - can't sit down just yet. . . .
Better go get a beer for Debbie first.

Go ahead, Debbie, just set your beer down there, don't worry about
pushing the air sax into the river . . .  .

"Come here, big fella & give me a birthday kiss."
(Graham, you don't have to look like a deer caught in
the headlights of an oncoming car)

The highlight of Graham's evening.
(I think :-)

The aftermath of another party on Rotten Row.
We were so loud, that we blew trees into the river!
