The prototypical bird

i had a birthday.

i turned a little older.

thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, called and sang songs or sent e-mail or called repeatedly in an attempt to get a hold of me.

life is quite busy right now so i apologize for not being able to speak to everyone like i want at the moment, but be assured your correspondence contributed to my great birthday weekend!

thanks to everyone who came out with me and ate, cheesed, champagne-d, and was merry.
