On a birthday, I love Thomas Ligotti:
Even after a person
is gone from this world,
people often tend
to remember birthdays.
They say: today is
the birthday of someone
who would have been
so many years old.
So just in case you're
not around next year:
happy birthday.

(thank you, shadowy voices of staring marionettes)
Is it your birthday? If so have a ghoul-filled day.

I'm afraid it is, Jim. Thanks!

After that poem, I am reluctant to wish you a happy birthday, but I will anyway! Hope it has been a great day so far and that the year ahead will be the best yet!
