To my mother: Happy Made It Both Though Birthing Your First Child (Even Though She Was Two Weeks Late) AND All The Trouble the Resulting Infant Would Go On To Cause For You Day!

To my friends and relatives: Thank you for the shower of kind wishes!

To Google: Aw, how sweet, you made a logo to celebrate the anniversary of my birth!  Or, at least, to celebrate that the heavens celebrate it.  ;)

To the meteors: Even if we miss some of you at your peak (on account of the waning gibbous moon during prime times), we should have plenty of viewing opportunities while backpacking in the Ansel Adams Wilderness this weekend.  See you soon!
