For a terrific account of my dad’s 80th birthday party, hop on over to Tess’ blog. Tess is still in Canada but managed to write an update. I also added some pictures. The party was held on Friday, February 8th. I flew in from Fort Lauderdale, arriving into Toronto at 2 PM. I left for Hong Kong the next morning at 8 AM. A short but worthwhile visit! While in the US, I happened upon a costume store and bought a gorilla outfit – something I have always wanted. I wore the suit for about an hour to greet the first 20 – 25 guests. Of course, no one knew the door monkey’s identity until I went upstairs to change… but of course the cat was out of the bag when everyone saw gorgeous Tess while I was changing! For more details on the party, please visit Tess’ blog!
Meanwhile, do you like my outfit?

OMG your kids have gotten so big.
India was such a blast. Gary really had fun, and I enjoyed sharing it with him. I thought of you at MTR, no waiting! Awesome.
Hope you, Tess, and the kids are well and sorry I haven’t been around.
Looking at the Christmas pics, I cannot believe how big your kids have gotten, and so lovely too!
Happy New Year, Charles.
PS Yes I like your outfit. Is it hot in there?
dashing! and i can see the family resemblance! jk! it is an adorable gorilla suit, tho.
LOL, nice to see you dressed for the occasion!
Who knew Charles always wanted a gorilla outfit?
Did I mention how much we loved having you in Toronto, Charles? Thanks for all your help, too. You hit the ground running!
The drive out to the airport at 5:30 am on Saturday in the blizzard was fun. Really.
Who’s Who ???
Nice suit Charles….or was that really you in the suit? 😛
