10.15.2007 wishes

Gordon called last night and we chatted about all manner of topics including the upcoming party but I completely failed to wish him happy birthday in advance.

Now I'm reduced to being merely timely!

Many happy birthday wishes for you oh mighty cheese guru! You were the first person to crack my telephone phobia, and you remain one of the few I'm willing to talk to on the cursed device. You know all of my secrets and have provided invaluable support through assorted adventures, bereavements, and scandals.

Throughout the accumulation of years you have provided substantial services as a social interpreter, explaining the puzzling behavior of your fellow humans. Most people think that I am mysterious but you know that I am just clueless and backwards, and for that I am grateful.

You've thrown me parties, let me crash at your place, and sent me on the road with snacks. Going way beyond the call of duty you have even visited me in this cracked little city - and confirmed that, yes, this is the least likely place I could ever live.

Only a few people knew when I moved out of the country and the ensuing chaos would have been unbearable without someone solid to mock me along the way; for that and all the rest I am endlessly thankful you are my friend.

Happy, happy birthday!
