Most Exalted Wishes of the Birthday Kind

[amelia_eve]

All hail the birthday of cordelia_v! My oldest friend, who also happens to be big hearted, endlessly productive, and slyly witty.

Wishing you a wonderful day and many happy returns.

Oh my goodness! Is the esteemed lady a) the person with whom you've been friends for the longest time, or b) literally the oldest person you're friends with?

My most elderly friend passed away a couple years ago (well, I guess there must be a new one to take her place, statistics being what they are, but she stood out). But the birthday girl and I were first year roommates at the University of California back in nineteen-mumblety-mumble. During the Jimmy Carter administration, let's just say. We are, indeed, old. And happy to be here and still be friends!

Thank you so much, sweetie!

And I'm now exactly three times the age of Miss M.! For some reason, this ratio delights me and Miss M.'s BFF (although Miss M. herself finds it uninteresting). But . . . a three to one ratio between my years and hers!

Yikes, the gap is closing!
