Thank you.

Well, It’s been a good one so far.
I was reminded it was my birthday by an email from Absolute write this morning. Last night I won two dollars from the Florida Lotteries Mega ball drawing.
I just finished my bowl of Quaker Oats, two slices of toast with some jelly and a cup of coffee.
I dove in and added almost a thousand words to my WIP, “OTHER VOICES, OTHER PEOPLE” now up to almost twenty thousand words, that I started last month.
No kisses, or hugs, but I got a birthday card and a long letter from my former live-in girlfriend who moved back to Smithfield North Carolina.

Sorry, I don’t have any funny stories to tell.

Glad it's been a good one, Jerry. You oughta get some smiles posthaste; you've brought enough our way.

This is a fine opportunity for me to mention that you're a bit strange -- which means you're one of us. Plus, you're a gentleman. I tip my hat to you there, sir.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

I’m a bit strange, because I deserve to be. I’ve waited all my life to be.

You know that strange ol Uncle, or maybe aunt who everyone has over for Thanks Giving, or perhaps Christmas so they may laugh and have something to talk about later on? He don’t come around for no New Years sparklers. No one pays attention to his foolishness then.

It’s called character, I guess. I’ve been such an uptight, do it like everyone else around me does it, I want to be just a little bit different. A sort of cross between an Archie Bunker and Walter Matthau. God! I love those two.

I need to be careful though and come back to Earth once in a while.

Have a terrific birthday, Jerry. It's not too late for you to tell us what kind of cake you want, you know.
