The safety pin, Yeats and Dave-all on the same day; remarkable. The Mystic must surely be in charge of June 13.
Happy Birthday, Dave,
Thank you sir,
It's an honor to be noted by you, of such beautiful notes.
It's my pleasure to be surrounded by, "a finer bunch of people", I double dog dare you to find.
I feel humble. The least of all mercies seem great to me, with an agreement to be faithful and steadfast to all God's manifestations of His miraculous ability to rescue our wandering minds from ourselves and deliver them from evil, forever and ever.
Love, Dave
and that is a big Shalom for this special day...
