Dear Beth,

What a birthday present you gave yourself 5 years ago! (Okay, off by one day out of 365 -- pretty derned close!) It sounds like you'll have a lot of joyful noise today. Do hope you have a marvelous day dispite the job and all the possible aggravations...

Just noticed your post today is 555: triple nickles on your birfday. Sounds like a nice omen to me.

Much happiness is wished for you!
