Amen, Ken, and amen.

Thanks, John. This Forum is the best present of all!

Thanks, Ulrich. Hope I get a German Chocolate cake!

Thank you for the compliment, Gerold. Much appreciated.

Thanks, Smudger. Dancin' in the sunshine. (Actually, taking a nap, but what the heck)

Thanks, Rod. Gonna put in my teeth and eat all the fiber I can find.

Thank you, Iain. I'll send a screenshot of the cake -- oh, wait, I already ate it!

Thanks, Adam. Hello to Pittsburgh!

Thanks, my friend. And a happy day of Moderating to you!

Thanks, John. I'm actually 81 now and do look back fondly on 80--seems like just yesterday. I do appreciate being granted elite status. That means I'm officially an Old Guy now?

Thanks, Wayne. Probably go skiing, then scuba diving, then rock climbing, then bull riding, then I'll turn off YouTube and take a nap.

Thanks, Karl. Much appreciated and looked forward to.

Thanks, Brian. At this age, I'm lucky to remember my name let alone the right date. But for your sake, I'll try!

Thanks, Ken. It's actually 81, but who is counting. I appreciate the prayers, although I hope you are not getting down on your knees quite yet 😉

Thanks, Carlos. Now if I could just get to Costa Rica and some warm weather!

Thanks, Graeme. I'll think of you as I exercise my walker.

Thanks, Grant. A free breakfast at our local Denny's restaurant. Yahoo!

Have a great day on your birthday, Karl, and all good days in the year ahead.

Great group in an era of great groups. Thanks, Adam.

The car scene reminds me of our weekly trip to the grocery store. I show those young whippersnappers a thing or two!

Cheers, Carlos. A very happy day to you!

Fun bunch, Adam. Thanks.

And so the fighter jock slunk off into the sunset. Thanks, Graeme -- good one! 😄

Happy birthday to one of the world's great characters. Have a great day, my friend.

May laughter and smiles be yours on this day, Smudger. Happy birthday!
