It's my birthday. I have no profound insights to share on the occasion, except to say thanks, Mom and Dad, and happy birthday to Kathy -- four minutes older, now and forever, but of course you are still in your prime.

Happy (Belated) Birthday!
L.A. rains today... I'm sure it's at least more scenic where you are :)
No, it's gray and cold here -- a good day to stay in bed, but I can't even do that!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
