So, a few folks have noted that Shirl is paying for dinner in the photo from the post entitled Happy Birthday Shirl! . . . .

That photo is from a previous visit to Boston, and yes Shirl did pay for dinner that evening . . . but I can assure you she did not pay for her Birthday this year (she was at Denise's shower).

The funny thing is that the Burke's aren't good sports about letting Denise and I pay for dinner . . . in fact, when we go out to eat with them, I've resorted to paying the waitstaff a few bucks to give me the check, even if Rick or Shirl asks for it.

Anyway, I just feel that it's only fair that Denise and I should pick-up the tab every once in a while . . . in fact, I am so committed to this stance that I decided to put my money where my mouth is, to walk the walk (so to speak) . . . so, I created the Ricky Baby credit card . . .

Edit: Several folks have asked if the card is real . . . yes, it is. This isn't photoshopped . . . .
