It's an opportunity to wish a VERY happy birthday to my beloved Scribbler~ whose presence and elegant contributions are so very much appreciated. May the coming year bring you and Clan Scribbler the richest of blessings. And a double wish goes to the world renowned Of Troy, she who has been immortalized in the annals of AWAD news. May the fortuitous timing of your newfound fame be a harbinger of a serendipitous year to come *hugs* to both of our special birthday members.

Happy Birthday to our "All-glorious Helen of Troy, and, may I speak for both of us who share this natal-day,thanks to all of our AWAD friends who have kindly sent felicitations to us. Your well-wishes mitigate the concerns concomitant with ever advancing years (although, as often noted, such concerns are devoutly to be wished when "The Grim Alternative" is considered. Thanks to all for your thoughtfulness. Helen, we share this natal day with one another, but it is also a day celebrated for thousands of years. Let's share "our day" with all and celebrate, again, another annual resurrection of Spring. Let G. Chaucer pronounce the "invocation" and then let the festivities begin: In reply to: "Whan that the month of May Is comen, and that I here the foules synge, And that the floures gynnen for to spryngen. Farewel my bok, and my devocioun" "Farewell my book, Geoff?" but a summer-trash read is, in this enlightened century sometimes acceptable. And of course we will be permitted to "Check the Board." Let's take off a day or two, or perhaps a Spring and Summer to enjoy the weather. Time out to celebrate! Our guests are arriving! I have not overlooked my annual reading of "Ulysses" (Tennyson). A bit later this evening (as Time permits), I'll post an abbreviated version (the "good parts") for you and me, Helen, and for any others seeking encouragement against advancing years.

Of course, we RECOMMEND the entire work, but, if you're in a hurry, read on: Ulysses - - Alfred Tennyson It little profits that an idle king, By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Matched with an aged wife, I METE AND DOLE UNEQUAL LAWS UNTO A SAVAGE RACE, THAT HOARD, AND FEED, AND SLEEP, AND KNOW NOT ME. I cannot rest from travel; I WILL DRINK LIFE TO THE LEES!: ..................... .........................I am become a name; For always roaming with a hungry heart Much have I seen and known;cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments Myself not least, but honoured of them all; And drunk delight with my peers, Far on the ringing plains OF (windy) TROY. I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move. HOW DULL IT IS TO PAUSE, TO MAKE AN END, TO RUST UNBURNISHED, NOT TO SHINE IN USE AS THOUGH TO BREATHE WERE LIFE ......... There lies the port; the vesel puffs her sail; There gleam the dark broad seas. ........... .................you and I are old; OLD AGE HATH YET HIS HONOR AND HIS TOIL; Death closes all: but something ere the end, SOME WORK OF NOBLE NOTE, MAY YET BE DONE, not unbecoming men that strove with gods (AND Goddesses, Cara Dea,) ..........................COME, MY FRIENDS, TIS NOT TOO LATE TO SEEK A NEWER WORLD. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths of all the western stars, until I die. THOUGH MUCH IS TAKEN , MUCH ABIDES; AND THOUGH WE ARE NOT NOW THAT STRENGTH WHICH IN OLD DAYS MOVED EARTH AND HEAVEN; THAT WHICH WE ARE, WE ARE; ONE EQUAL TEMPER OF HEROIC HEARTS, MADE WEAK BY TIME AND FATE, BUT STRONG IN WILL TO STRIVE, TO SEEK, TO FIND, AND NOT TO YIELD. Here endeth this Birthday Scripture!
