Happy birthday, beloved.

May your year be as full of wonder and magic as the last fourteen together have been.

After hearing about my students' deaths, my mother said "screw it" and gave me my 30th (ack!) birthday present early.

She got me a Kindle.

Books are awesome. And while I will never be one of those to give up the paper variety, it's great to be able to have access to many of them with a touch of a button.

Happy birthday, gaudior!

Happy belated birthday, foleyartist1!

May your years be full of delight and wonder and fulfillment!

Happy Birthday, angstnokami!

May the year to come be full of mad science, the wonder of discovery, family, and lots of chocolate.

Happy birthday, wayman! May it be joyous and peaceful and relaxing, and leave you invigorated and ready for your next adventure!
