Happy Birthday, Maarten! Today is my 43rd birthday.
Yeah right! Bonne Anniversaire du moi! This cold sure is special; eSPECIALly annoying and impeding my ability to job hunt. I'm so desperate for work.
Today, I'm GRATEFUL for: Having the courage to be who I am, hold my values, and be proud of me and the good man people who know me say I am.

Well, Mr. Dixon, by pure happenstance did I check in on your life today, only to find you've reached that 43rd mile marker! I think I knew you are Taurian, but I had no idea this is the very day! I sure do hope it is a splendid one for you, and I only wish we could celebrate it together. You are certainly in my thoughts though, and I hope it won't be too long 'til we get to see each other again . . . XOXO -- Tom Ferguson
Tom, As always, in return for all your kindness, friendship, and more; I extend my sincere thanks. I wish we were celebrating together as well, but perhaps we will soon. I wish Chris would at least say hello to me online. I know he has his reasons, for whatever they may be. I think very highly and fondly of both of you and wish US all the best. Maarten
