Happy birthday Virgil!!
Who wants birthday punches?
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

Happy Birthday, Virgil! I wish you the very best.

Happy Birthday!
A December birthday?! That must have sucked as a kid. My sister-in-law, for whom we threw a big 40th birthday bash, believed that the event was going to simply come and go because everyone had told her that surely you have better sense than to have a birthday in December.
Anyway,
Happy Birthday!!!

StLukes! Yeah December birthdays tend to get tangled with Christmas, but mine is at least not right on top of Christmas. 40 year birthday was traumatic for me. I wonder how I'm going to handle 50 in a few years. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh Shoutgrace! You just snuck in there. Thank you, and yes I'm still a young buckl!! Thank you for stopping by.
