You do NOT want me singing along. It’s a deeply disturbing experience for all within earshot.

I’ll hum quietly into my beverage.

Happy Happy Birthday! And thank you for the gift of that wonderful, uplifting song, video and story. Your gift arrived just when I personally happened to need it. Funny how that works sometimes. Hope tomorrow is a beautiful day for you! Let the adventure continue 😎

You were born to this.

It was your destiny.

THE choice.

Stubborn authenticity!

Contract to coruscate!

Song spirit!

Word wizard!

Mash-up maestro!

Light monger!

Wholly deserved!

Love and joy are exponential.

You foment them.

Lusty and bawdy

and sometimes a little naughty,

but always with the spark.

Multiplying love light

is sacred work.

Wonderful! We do Three Little Birds occasionally, but your addition of I'll Fly Away is brilliant!

If this sounds good, have one. As I recall, it is rather dangerous primer beverage.

“Quiet Flows the Dawn”

6 basil leaves

2 tsp sugar

muddle the above

ice

3/4 oz lime juice

1 1/4 oz grapefruit juice

1 1/4 oz Herradura

shake

Quaff.
