Happy Birthday, Peri

Sometimes, everything else has to go to the background, when something truly important happens. Today is one such day.

My life, over the last 24 years, has been better for your entry into it. I am grateful to God for your birth, and celebrate your happiness. I hope you and Brian have the happy ever after that evades so many (myself included, so far).

I hope you get what you want and want what you get.

Now blow out the damn candles, Groucho. (I'll avoid embarrassing you right now and NOT sing the Perelandra Panda song for the world to see...)
