For Cathy, On the Occasion of her Birthday


"Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives, and remembering what one receives." -Alexandre Dumas, fils

"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that." -E.B. White, Charlotte's Web

"Friends are the sunshine of life." -John Hay


Happy Birthday, Cathy!

Oh wow! I almost missed this too. My Internet this PM has been off and on--more off than on! Thanks for helping me celebrate my birthday. This has been almost the best present today, and certainly the biggest surprise! Im so glad I can call you friend.
