Birthday Greetings To . . . ME!

I’ve received Birthday Greetings (and coupons!) from Coldstone Ice Cream, AMF Bowling Lanes, Phillippi Creek Seafood, and Beef O’Brady’s:

I’ve received e-greetings from Busch Gardens, my auto insurer, my bank, and my Alumni Association:

Every time I open my e-mail, another greeting awaits . . .  reminding me that I’m a year older and not a whole lot wiser. 

Putting a positive spin on things . . . I’m still far too young to receive a Birthday Greeting from The President!
