Where in the World is Michael Stanley?

Annamaria for Stan


Stan and Michael and their entourage set off last week for a tour of the National Parks of Madagascar to celebrate Michael's 70th birthday.  In the wee hours of this morning, Stan wrote: "I am in the middle of nowhere in Madagascar sans wifi so blog can't be uploaded.  Could you post an apology for me."

I offer the photo above by way of Stan's said apology.

The only thing I am personally sorry for is that I am missing out on their adventure.

  1. And we can comfort ourselves that Michael will be having a great birthday, and that we shall enjoy hearing about it over the next few weeks!!

  2. And that they're peacefully at bliss far away from Cable News.

  3. Yes, Caro, I think we will get reports from both their perspectives once they emerge from the hinterlands.

    And, Bro. Anyone who is watching Cable News should know better. I stopped watching the news on TV during the Vietnam War. I am still well informed, but my blood pressure now is the same as it was in 1970. For good health--mental and physical--I highly recommend my approach to the tube: use it only for movies.

  4. Wait, what? Michael's SEVENTY??? I thought there were laws in South Africa about exporting old white stuff. No, wait, maybe that was just ivory. In that case, have a great time, bring back lots of pics and stories, and break a leg. No, wait, that's just in the theater. Better not...

  5. We made it out with tales to tell! Michael's leg is intact. Have to admit I missed my morning What Idiotic Thing Is Next fix. Until Thursday.

    1. Cannot wait to have the details. I have coined only two aphorisms in my life. One may apply here: "No adventure worthy of the name is fun while you're going through it."

    2. That describes it wonderfully, Annamaria! Another aphorism is the one of the curate's egg - good in parts!

    3. So glad you got back in one piece, Michael. I am sure this birthday was unforgettable! We all await your and Stan's recounting of the details. And PICTURES!!
