I am going to (hopefully... if this connection holds) post this same message on Mith-ology, Fozbaca, Ufies, and Static Red.

I just wanted to say how much all of you guys have meant to me. Considering the fact that Natalie and I are basically alone here in Philly, that internet access has been spotty at best, that the last few months has seen more than its share of sad times when people have had to move.... considering all of these facts, the simple gesture of publishing a happy birthday to me means an incredible amount to me.

I am touched, deeply, by everyone's well-wishing. I wish I were with you all right now. I miss you guys so damn much it hurts.
