Since it is the customary greeting, (and since the people here are doing a "card") Happy Birthday!

-one of the most resistant "pupils" of your work

Oddly enough - my two-year-old son has the same birthday as SRD! Wacky.
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Happy Birthday

You probably shouldn't spend too much time reading these posts...you've got a good deal of writing to do.
