Thanks, friends! I had a very nice birthday. Presents trended toward my love of music and my love of bird-watching. Yes, I'm a twitcher. I don't travel to do this, unlike some of our fellow players, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
Those of you who thought your greetings were belated were mistaken. Thanks to Chihuahua being a global game and my being in one of the later time zones, your messages did indeed appear on my actual birthday. But even if they were late, they would be no less appreciated.
Les, a lady would never reveal her age, but luckily for you I am not always a lady. MK is two years older than I. I believe he is correct that he is not the oldest player, but I couldn't tell you who is.
