Thanks everyone! Your well-wishes were a true highlight! Seriously, I think you guys made my day.

I don't mean to "bring things down", but to be honest, it was a pretty crappy day. Past a bunch of technical issues that plagued and frustrated me all day, I'm particularly introspective because my best friend from childhood died the other day, and I'm trying to wrap up a bunch of things here so I can go to his memorial in NJ in a couple of days.

Point is, sappy as it might sound, I really DO treasure you guys and feel very much as though you are friends and family... even though I haven't met 99% of you.

Birthdays don't ordinarily mean much to me, but on this one, I'm now thinking about the friends I have instead of the one I lost. Thank you.

JP, I never listed my birthday here, but I think Cam saw it on FaceBook....
