Happy birthday, Big Mick, and many more. You share a birthday with Joan Baez, but you're much younger.

Well, you mad Irish bard, look where you have brought us for all your insistence on not needing to ask for directions. A whole YEAR we've been wandering, clamopring, beating on bodhrans and brass cymbals, blowing through chanters, sounding the long gutbucket and the throaty zither, chasing words to the left and right, dropping verses like autumn leaves. ANd now look. We're right back at the Cat. I'm SURE I recognize this thread. We've been here before, Mick... Goddamit, man, you have us going around in circles!!!   But, I must admit, they are very fine and beautiful circles, for all that!
Enjoy your day to the fullest, my Favorite Irishman!

That makes Joan Baez, Mick, and at least one other 'cat with today's birthdate. The only downside is having to share a birthdate with the immortal Richard Nixon. Have a good'n, Mick, and we'll hope Ms. Baez does too.

And soon you'll be dead.

(and other sentiments of the season)

Here's a toast for you:

Saint Patrick was a gentleman
Who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland
Here's a bumper to his health
But not too many bumpers
Lest we lose ourselves and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see the snakes again.

First, there are far too many problems with this thread for me to attach my name to it. For example, Jeri says "have a great one" as though you get one for your birthday! Listen, if yours ain't great already, your birthday ain't gonna' make it any larger. Mick lives in the state up north so the cold has probably already got him shriveled up the size of a cocktail weenie.

And then there's this Irish/Celtic thing with Leej..........What the hell have you done to him? The guy does a getaway or two and now the briarhopper is making like he can't wait to go listen to a Chieftans cd.

Then Brother El Swannno notes the performance level of Mick in polite terms but right now, Mick's billable hours ain't squat. Maybe its because he's feeling healthy or something as Swan is feeling poorly and billing like crazy. I'm ahead of Dave and I'm CTD (circling the drain). Fielding's dead and his hours are through the roof! So Mick......Have a shitty birthday, feel lousy, and start billing some hours man or we'll have to give you a good, solid kick in the balls and see if THAT doesn't help.

Lots of problems on this thread...............Yeah, I'm gonna' skip it!

Wow!!!! I just walked in from a road trip. First time in ages all of my parent's kids are in the same place, in fact its been a while since we have all been on one continent at the same time. So we are going to dinner tomorrow night and celebrate the birthday. We are also, on a less celebratory note, going to have a family roundtable about my Da. This tough old Paddy is hangin' in there, but he is feeling like it might be time for him to get away. Love 'em, while you have got them, dear friends. Cherish them, honor them, sing to and for them. Tell them while they can hear you about how you just wanted to be like them. Make them feel the appreciation you have for the values you learned from them and the skills that they have taught you. All too soon you are standing there thinking you want one more day in a field with them, and you know it is not to be. But part of our tradition is the comin' and the goin', and I get to see my Pops and he will tell me Happy Birthday, and I will love it.

Here's to all of you. This has been a rough couple of years for me, and 2008 has been the roughest. I know I have not been the finest company to have this year, but I do know that in the midst of tragedy and heartbreak, I turned to you all for support, and there it was all freely given and from the depths of your hearts. I will always cherish that and be grateful for it, and try to repay it as we finish the business at hand and head forward. Your love and concern are far more powerful and moving than can be described.

All the very best, and with love and appreciation,

Mick Lane

Happy Birthday anyway.
