HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

innerSpaceman · 07-02-2006, 04:43 PM

Thank you all for those fond wishes. I am awfully humbled by your affection, and appreciate it so much.

I also feel terribly guilty.

It's been quite a while since I made the miserly decision to stay out of all birthday threads. Between the various boards I post on, every day is somebody's birthday. I crumbled under the pressure of devising a clever greeting for each occassion. Then I realized that I was posting on some folk's birthdays and not others ... which might lead to unintended false assumptions about whom I like more than so-and-so.

And so ... I have not posted a well-wisher for any of the fine folks who have posted here on their birthdays. Let me take this opportunity, then, to wish you all a Very Happy Birthday ... and thank you for letting me get it over with all at once like that!

Well, I'm off to celebrate my birthday with my best friend, who happens to have her birthday tomorrow. With America's birthday being the day after, the two of us have always experienced a multi-day birthday festival that, thanks to the national holiday, always seems to fall on a "weekend" where friends are off work and available to celebrate. It's been wonderul for the past quarter century ... so tonight we are going to have dinner at the Bonaventure Hotel in downtown L.A. ... where she and I spent our first mutual birthday together exactly 25 years ago! We'll be playing in a glass elevator overlooking the city at midnight, the cusp when it's both our birthdays at once ... just as we were when I turned 21 and Laurie turned 18!

Oh my

!

Thanks again for all the kind thoughts and birthday goodness.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who made that (hard) choice ages ago...But I wish you a HB here because here is the only place I saw a thread. [/annoyed]

Have fun!

And that is why I made the choice long ago to not stress over birthday threads, for my friends would not think less of me if I did not post in their thread, just as I don't think less of them for not posting in mine. So I post on my merry way and life goes on.

Sounds like you are having a fantasmic day!

I only post in these threads if I know the person fairly well. I've seen you around for a while now, and so I choose to post in this thread. Yes, it can be time consuming if you are active and get to know a lot of people. But I figure, what the hey, it takes 30 seconds of my time to wish a friend well. And once I do, I'm done with the thread. I don't go back to read it. In fact I don't read it much at all.

Anyway, I hope your B Day was all you wanted it to be, and that this next year is the best year yet!

~Bob

Happy happy!

(don't you think the Bonaventure should have a Monorail station?)

Happiest of birthdays to an incredibly swell guy. (Who is as young as he feels.)
