I would like to thank each and every one of you for expressing best wishes on the occasion of my birthday on 12/30. I've embarked on my 75th year on this planet and I look forward to celebrating its conclusion with you on 12/30/2016.
And a special thanks to my dear friend, mikey. I knew if there were to be a happy birthday thread for this old curmudgeon, it would be mikey who would start it.
