Sorry I'm a bit late Eric, but I see your birthday has passed with the usual delightful excess of cake, candles etc. I hope you enjoyed all this, as you deserve the them all. And I must congratulate you on planning and achieving your arrival the day before a public holiday, thus having an extra day in which to continue your celebrations....

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! I was a good day even though I spent most of it at work. It was a scary day because Angela decreed herself designated driver after I had a Manhattan, a glass of Nebiolo and a glass of port. I have never been so sober in all my life as I was in that back seat. "What does green mean again?" @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

"What does green mean again?" Cautious. I was being cautious, dear! In downtown Berkeley at night, you never know when a suicidal bicyclist without a light, entirely clad in black, will pull out right in front of you!!! |

I'm sure the people behind us were honking out "She is very cautious" in Morse code. @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

The view of Eric's birthday candles from space: ..and I am sure Angela's driving isn't as bad as my BFs, which has at times left me shaking and terrified! To add insult to injury he is the worst backseat driver ever. He once called me from the car behind to tell me to signal. Reality Internet Personality |

I'm sure the people behind us were honking out "She is very cautious" in Morse code. Exactly. And remember that unfortunate one fingered gentleman who passed me, waving furiously and shouting something so vociferously within the confines of his car that all the veins popped out in his neck? Well, I'm pretty sure he was shouting "Happy Birthday To Your Husband!!!!!!" Right dear? |

I'm sure the people behind us were honking out "She is very cautious" in Morse code. Hey, don't make fun of the handicapped just because they only have one finger left...... I encounter them all the time, and give them a display of my amazing dexterity by showing them only one finger out of five. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

"What does green mean again?" Ah yes suicide jockeys, organ donors or kamikazes... On street that I live off of I've called it the Indy 500, why? It's straight as an arrow for about 2 miles, even if it does go up and down just a smidge, people drive on it way above the posted speed limit of 55mph, but then the Sheriff doesn't come out this way much, not unless called, as the place is usually pretty peaceful.

I wasn't in town last night so you needn't have worried. Spent the time trying to peal some of Eric's birthday cakes off my computer's screen.

I know Eric enjoyed it to the full, even if I am late. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
