Happy Birthday Sedai!

4-0, wow! Happy Birthday, Mike. You always seem 10 years younger than you are to me, and I love that you've found such a cool mix between youthful enthusiasm and mature thoughtfulness. I doubt that's an easy thing to do.

I appreciate your steadfast political views, as well, even when they differ from my own, and I'm definitely forced to concede that the world has come around more to your way of thinking in the last decade than it has to most alternatives. But whatever happens, I like the idea that we'll be in touch and will be able to talk about and analyze it, good or bad.

So kudos on expressing yourself with both grace and force, and on helping to make MoFo what it is!

Thanks you guys. Even though I officially turn 40 tomorrow, the birthday fun has already started! Thanks to all the wonderful folks I have met here over the years. This is, and always will be, my favorite stop on the web.

And Chris - thanks for kind words at the top. I got a lil misty, man! /cry



Oh, and WT - I have played Amorphis into the ground. What's next?

Happy Birthday Mike. I get 40 this year too. Joy.
