I've been out of pocket in the Middle East for a while so accept my belated congratulations! Your works keep me sane when I'm far from home. Keep up the great work! :D

Congratulations, Maestro Weber, and many more. On this solemn occasion, I thought it might be useful to you if I passed on my Father's advice on a similar landmark birthday.

At the time, he was still alive, and pretty spry, but had been suffering various ailments for many years. I was beginning to encounter the joys of things like arthritis, and I asked him what I should expect from now on. He put his hand on my shoulder, and looked at me earnestly.

"Son," he said, "Let me give you some important advice:

Don't grow old."

"Gee, thanks a lot, Dad," I said :)

I hope that my Father's advice is every bit as useful to you as it was to me. :|

And aside from that, have a great birthday! - w

Tomorrow is officially The Day, of course, but I appreciate the early best wishes. They remind me of what happened a few years ago, though.

Megan and Morgan have their birthday on October sixth, and they were born in 2001. So in 2012, I said to Megan, "This month you'll be eleven and Daddy will be fifty-nine."

Megan: "Nope."

Daddy: "Uh-huh!"

Megan: "Nope."

Daddy: "You two were born in 2001."

Medan: "Yep."

Daddy: "And 2012 minus 2001 is eleven!"

Megyn: "Yep."

Daddy [with the triumphant air of one who has proven his point with impeccable logic]: "So you guys will be eleven and Daddy will be fifty-nine."

Megan [with great patience for her dad's obviously incipient senility]: "Daddy, 2012 minus 1952 is sixty; it's not fifty-nine."

I have it on good authority that October sixth is the BEST day for birthdays, and that everyone born on 10/6 is naturally attractive and intelligent, with personality to match. ;)

Which is just silly. Obviously those traits apply to all October birthdays. Hope yours is a great one, and that you and your family have a wonderful day!

Wishing you a VERY HAPPY Birthday and, if you are like me, you will skip the candles as that will avoid the fire hazard and smoke alarums! :lol:

Of course that makes the assumption that you still maintain control in your household. The fact that said household contains at least 3 females renders the above moot! :twisted:

Given that your two daughters are approaching young womanhood, I am very happy that you are a successful author as that gives you a 'slight' chance to stay ahead of the spending curve! :roll:

Again, the very best wishes to you and for the season, best wishes to all of your nearest and dearest! God Bless! :P

Happy Birthday! and Happy BIRTH Day too!

You're gonna need the wind in the belly of Reginald Houseman over in the Honorverse to help you blow that much fire out.

I think you have to alert the Fire Dept. before you light that many candles.

Check your fire extinguishers too! :lol:

Oh! Don't stand so close to the cake when you're huffing and puffing. If you should catch fire, you'll need a whole lot of handwaving trying to put it out!

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense
