Wow. I've read over this thread now a number of times, w/ each time something more significant to remark, only to stammer at last upon an ever more concentrated, diminutive, and dumb "THANK YOU". How boring, but however plumb sincere.
Especial thanks to no one in particular for positing this Birthday thread, this enduring stroke to my Leonine ego; to wolve's best-wishes (which makes me, not suspicious, but just a little, um, glad to not have to hide my "post-steroidal physique" behind a cake!); and to dallow for... well, at least you tried (j/k, friend, I loved it)!!
