William Brand Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thank you, all. It's been a very interesting year all around, and no, it isn't old age. It's scheduling (damn scheduling). And if you spent any time at PIP this year, you know the havoc that scheduling can cause. I was supposed to go to dinner with my parents on Friday, but we had to change it, due to scheduling conflicts. Such is life. Still, it's been a very good birthday. I've actually been celebrating my birthday since PIP and earlier, as much of my kit there was a birthday present from Tracy. I'm also wearing my present to myself...a Mercury hoodie. Tracy has been buying me all sorts of early Firefly collectibles and must-haves, including prints, dinosaurs and not a few obscure replicas. I'm spoiled. Nine hours and forty minutes into my birthday, and still no bacon. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeve O'Treasaigh Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I suppose I've got to get up MUCH earlier in the morning if I intended to be the first one to wish my love the happiest of birthdays. I am grateful to have you as my lifemate, grateful to have been an integral part of your life for yet another year. I look forward to all of the rest of our years together with hope, love, gratitude, and joy. Happy Happy Birthday! :-) You're a true gem!
