Exciting news, Gud! Congratulations!
Thank you for the birthday wishes. I am 60 today. Not thrilled about that but prefer it to never turning 60.
In the tradition of The Venerable Bede, you may now refer to me as The Venerable Hecubot.

Wow, marriage. How do you feel about the pairing?
He seems like a really good guy, so I'm pretty happy about it. She certainly seems to be happy which is all that really matters.

That is a good way to look at it.

That's wonderful, Gud. Of course her feelings as most important but it helps a lot when you like the person marrying your child.
Ah, 60. I remember that one. It was the year I decided I really needed to get serious about my health, after having a really awful end of 59. My Mom in her 90s advised me that she wished she had done more about her health in her 60s to enjoy the next few decades more. I think she did pretty darn well actually.

Yep, my mom said that to me so often. She basically died of old age at 95 so she did something right.

Yay!
Aw, Venerable Hecubot, that sounds like a Futurama character

Happiest of birthdays to The Venerable Hecubot!
Gud, glad to see your pixels!
After all of the adulting I accomplished this weekend, I stayed up way too late last night to finish a book and now I feel like I'm dying of the tired.
