Happy Birthday!

Lest I seem all dark and gloomy, let me hasten to add that today was my wife's birthday! (Well, it's yesterday now, but it still feels like today to me.) We've been together for over 20 years now, and it was a joy to celebrate with her and with the girls. She's a supportive and trusting wife, an intelligent and funny companion, and a bedrock to the raising of our daughters. And the best friend I ever had. Happy birthday, Allysen!
