Happy (belated) Birthday!!! You share a birth year with Fabio - interesting.
Happy Birthday to you my friend. I see things are going very well for you. I told you it would be easier when W finally left ;). Glad to see that BJ is back in your life. Really, I am glad to see that you are happy...finally...IT'S YOUR TURN!!!!!
Happy Birthday True!!! And may the year ahead be filled with dreams coming true.
Des - Thanks. I thought of you when I picked a Beatles song for this post. You're one of the few around old enough like me to remember their stuff when it was new.
Andrea - Ah, but I would never know it was sung badly had you not told me, and I appreciate the sentiment even if it was sung badly.
Drama - Dinner date was awesome! N was the perfect date for my birthday dinner, and we had a great time.
C-Marie - Thanks!
Bunny - Fabio, yes, I didn't realize he was as old as I am until I was doing this post.
Karin - I so hope so. I feel like it ought to be my turn finally!
Fi - Thank you. From the way things look right now at least some of my dreams should be coming true in the next year.
Happy (belated) birthday! I can fill you in on Daniel Johns, he's the lead singer of an Australian band called Silverchair. They are quite good, but young enough to be our children. hmmm, is that an appropriate comment on your birthday - meant in the nicest possible way! Enjoy, and make sure you eat cake all week.
