Wow! What a surprise! Thank you, Wilfried, for starting a birthday thread for me. Thanks also to all you other guys and gals for your kind remarks and for your best wishes for my birthday.

If someone had told me 3 years ago before I joined Mudcat that I would be getting birthday greetings from folks who live in USA and folks who live in Australia, Canada, France, Iceland, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom, I would have told that person that he or she was crazy. But, thanks to Mudcat, that is indeed what has happened.

I'm grateful for the opportunities Mudcat provides to communicate with you all. Your best wishes warm my heart. And given the snowy weather outside, I need all the warmth I can get!

:o)

See ya around the 'Cat!
