Yours fooly seldom checks "Today's Birthdays" on the bottom of the NitLet's opening page, mainly because the screen names are ones I've never seen before and most likely will never see again. But I noticed them today, and there was one name with a glow around it -- yours!
Now, along with the Feast of St. Francis (and the anniversary of a preternaturally early Nor'east blizzard of 1987),we have another reason to mark October 4.
Happy Birthday, MANICHAEAN, and "mani" happy returns of the day!
