My third birthday (1984). It is now obvious to me I need to find another pair of pink sunglasses.

So today is my actual birthday. Thanks to everyone who is helping me celebrate, near and far. As I’m writing this post, it’s only 9:30 in the morning and I’ve already had “happy birthday” messages from folks in three separate countries on two continents.

Here’s to another thirty years. Then thirty more – and beyond.
