It got lost on the Mudcat Advent Calendar thread, so anyone who wasn't there wouldn't know:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, O STALWART MUDCATTERS!!!

Jeri, you've already received an absolutely wonderful gift, a Barry Taylor midi, here. I can only add, "Happy Birthday!"

And Matt, I remembered that it was 22 instead of 21...hope every year gets better and better! Don't wish time away, but you have soooooo much to look forward to.

Mary in KY, that's what I thought when I saw the posting by Barry this morning - what a great present, even if he didn't know it was my birthday!

CamiSu, I went by a sign on a farm today - they had named the place "Ewetopia."

Thanks to all of you, and Happy Birthday to Matt! Just think, if we'd been born in the same city, same hospital, same year, we would have...well, I don't know...something!

Well, I said it on the Advent Calendar thread but I might as well include it here.

Happy Birthday you two! Plus Kate!

Sinsull! Are you suggesting that Jeri is older than 26? I'm shocked! I don't believe you!

What still alive at twenty-two a fine upstanding lad like you...

I'm not sure whether that's AE Houseman (The Shropshire Lad), or someody taking him off. I rather fancy the latter. But it came into my head, and I can't put my finger on the rest of the verse.

And here's one that is definitely AE Houseman - and it sings very well to the tune of Down by the Sally Gardens, :

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
'The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.'
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

Anyway, happy birthday to Matt and Jeri as they slide inexorably into middle-age.
