Happy Birthday, Elspode!

Hope this year is great! Happy birthday 'Spode!

the big Five-OH! ...and off to very auspicious start, glad I could attend.

Thanks for all the good wishes, my friends. We had a marvelous time yesterday. The weather was cool and beautiful, and between ritual attendance and those who came later, we ended up having about 75 people during the course of the day. I saw some old friends I hadn't seen in ages, and met some new ones (special tip of the birthday hat to Barefoot Serpent, who biked over, although not all the way from Lawrence, making him the offical first Cellarite I have met in person). Thanks to another person we all know here, the day was made even more special than it would have been otherwise, and I offer a big thanks and a special manly hug to the responsible party, who I will not name since I don't know if they'd want me to.

We lit a fire in the firepit as the sun went down and saw the evening out in style. I got fun gifts, ate well, and probably didn't pay enough attention to people that I should have (Barefoot Serpent and I conversed during the setup of the festivities, but once they took off, I was earbending all day long with a bunch of people. I did find out that he has a real interesting job, though).

I was hoping to top off my festivities today by wrapping up a couple of loose ends here at work and heading home early to play the new video game I got, but alas, I have two staffers off sick, and so I must put my aged nose to the grindstone once again. ;-)

Have a great day!

Happy birthday, Patrick! 9/25 is a great day to be born, isn't it? ;)

Happy Day right back atcha, Mari. It is indeed fine to know that, one cold lonely night in the middle of Winter, our parents found something fun to do to keep warm.

Happy Birthday, Elspode! (I won't sing again--my gift to you)

Happy Birthday, marichiko! (You don't want me to sing either)

Happy Brithday Elspode and Marichiko. I hope you both have wonderful birthday's.

Crescent fresh! Elspode and Marichiko.

Many more, Mari. :D

Happy Birthday to a couple of great cellerys. The people around you are blessed just because you guys are in the world. I think yer great. Both of you! :celebrat:

and....it feels good to have met you if even just in text.

Thanks everyone. I hope Patrick had as a good a birthday as I did. I drove up to Telluride to see the fall colors. The scenary was spectacular as always. I'm so glad to be back home in the 4-Corners again. On my return drive, I stopped at a convenience store for some coffee, and decided to buy a $3.00 scratch ticket, as well. I won $200.00! It was a good day! :)

Happy belated Spode (half a century) and Mari.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuce!
