It's already tomorrow in Australia, so...

Happy birthday to one of the sweetest guys I've never met!

Paul-chik and I became acquainted through the music of Thomas Dolby a zillion years ago, when all the Internet access I had was through work, with a black screen, white letters and the crappiest dial-up account known to man. Yet, even with that rather bland interface, this gent really shined through. He's never failed to be a kind, supportive, and delightful friend (and is far more complimentary to me than I deserve, honestly.) There should be many more men out there like this guy.

Note to Australia: more Pauls, fewer Russell Crowes, please.

So, here's to you, Paul!


Man, I love Google Images. Type in "Paul birthday cake" and POOF!

Whatever you do to celebrate your birthday today, kiddo, be sure to give yourself a big hug on my behalf and go take a walk on that gorgeous beach of yours - I'll come along, if only in spirit.

I hope to actually meet you someday.

With lots of love from The Swamp That Is DC,

MJ

P.S. I really want us to finally meet in person too. We will one day! Even if it's when we're both crotchety old far^H^H^Hpeople with blankets over the legs and ear trumpets the size of tubas, we will!

P.P.S. Re compliments. I just calls it how it sees it. :-)
