We share that, Driftglass! However, we differ in one major way, since your high level of intellect and accomplishment is unquestionable; the argument (and I've heard it proffered often!) against my constant brag that my wife is the smartest person I know is that she married ME! :-D
May her next circumnavigation around the nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma in the center of our solar system be a smooth one for herself, her family and friends.
I told Blue Gal happy birthday on her blog, which I have actually been reading longer than this one. In fact, I found out about this one from reading hers oh so long ago...
A very happy birthday, indeed! Or, in the words of Pooh and Owl:
"HIPY PAPY BTHETHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY Pooh looked on admiringly. "I'm just saying 'A Happy Birthday'," said Owl carelessly. "It's a nice long one," said Pooh, very much impressed by it."
Thought you might like this admission of guilt from Lester Holt to Columbia University:
“We are all aware of what is happening around us,” NBC’s Lester Holt said at Columbia University’s duPont Awards ceremony this week. “The attacks on our legitimacy. The efforts to undermine our relevance. And I know I am expected to say something profound. But here’s all I got: Do our jobs. Do our jobs….What we can’t do is get trapped in a debate. We are not at war with anyone or any entity. That’s what some would hope for. We cannot afford to be seen as petty or on someone’s side.”
Happiest of birthdays to Bluegal, and many, many more!
ReplyDeleteFelicitations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you both.
ReplyDeleteAnd if that better person will take you back after ..., there are not enough flowers to thank her.

Hope he takes you out for a good dinner!
Feliz Cumpleanos, Blue Gal! If you and DG are ever in my neck of the woods, the first five rum drinks are on me.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!
