Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes, which I am working hard to transmute into fire-containment~ma for the entire state of Colorado (note to Scola: imagine me somewhat like this).
My sooper-seekrit birthday present for Hec just arrived, and it looks totally amazing. I only finished plotting it out and ordering it on Monday; I can't believe it got here in time. I am bouncing with squee and will have to restrain myself from shaking him awake and making him open it at exactly 6:01 AM tomorrow.
flea, that's worth a do-over. Or at least a large glass of wine.
Happy birthday, wonderful jz! I can't tell you how much I look forward to the wisdom and humor and deep kindness in all of your posts.

What Scrappy said.
Really, happy birthday. You are one of the most wonderful people.
And, Cash, I am glad your mom has such excellent odds.
We should work on CancerBegone. Like Oxyclean for cells that ran amok.
Sadly, I read kind compliments like yours and there goes that voice in my head muttering, "If I'm the best they can do they really need to meet a better class of people, because I'm not all that and a bag of chips."
It's probably too much to hope that in the coming year I come even close to thinking of myself as all that and a bag of chips, or even just all that. But a bag of chips is *totally* achievable.
Happy, happy birthday, JZ! I will echo what Cass and Scrappy said, because you're one of the kindest people I know.
You are totally a bag of chips, JZ. AND all that, too.
I got an email from my SIL, and they're okay and it's raining. So no worry about them.

What the hell is that voice doing in
your
head? I thought it was firmly stationed in mine.
