TBW Daily Diary

Rains and high winds most of the day. An abandoned building in the 600 block of Maclay Street collapsed into the street . . . The big brown tin hen pictured yesterday has flown the coop but the roosters and a few of the chicks are still here . . . JJ's birthday. Lots of little buddies, pizza, cake and presents. He was proud to show Uncle Bob and Uncle Ronn his cake which was decorated with the brothers Mario and Luigi. Last year the interior of the cake was blue, but JJ requested that it be red this year . . . Despite mommy Sarah's request of "no presents" we think JJ got a greater haul than he did last Christmas . . .
