To My Mother

To-day’s your natal day;
Sweet flowers I bring:
Mother, accept, I pray
My offering.

And may you happy live,
And long us bless;
Receiving as you give
Great happiness. ( Read the rest of this entry » )

And many, many more joyous days for each of you!

In the midst of this madness, I do want to stop and wish a very happy birthday to slobbit. Her stories brighten my life, and I'm happy to call her my friend.

She was the first one to warn me about the zombie uprising, but I didn't take it very seriously. I wish I had.

My birthday wishes for her: a very pleasant trip to Cupertino, joy in her new job, and fiction sales in the coming year! Happy birthday!

Dr. Seuss! In honor of which, today is Read-Across-America day (seems awfully restrictive to me). Go read a book! (Like I need to tell this crowd that.)

I also have it on good authority that today's bonniers' birthday. Stop by and wish her well!
