Kevin,
  I could say picture Marilyn Monroe singing her breathy Happy Birthday to you while your worst enemy is forced to dance stark naked in Times Square in the middle of January, or I could tell you a terrible joke like: Two antennas got married, the wedding was dull, but the reception was great -just to try to bring you a smile for your birthday. Just know that through the magic of cyberspace, the technology of TV, and your intelligent and human reporting you have gained friends all over the world who send Happy Birthday Wishes and thoughts and prayers for your safety.
