Feel The Birthday Love

















My two sons (see Fig. 1) obviously love me, and sent this beautiful birthday card. Blanco took the unprecedented step of shaving before the picture was taken, and Rondo appears to have stopped cussing, at least briefly. Not everyone is fortunate enough to ever know such devotion. To be honest, neither of these boys is particularly blessed with a gift for tender heartfelt expression, and their twist on the usual birthday song lyrics betrays a wee bit of that. But you can be sure their hearts are in it.

My warmest thanks to a few friends who popped by with kind birthday wishes in the Siamese Cats discussion immediately below.

My God, I can't believe I'm 101.
