Woohoo! Three pages of birthday wishes and 12 visitor profile messages awaiting me! Life doesn't get any better than that -- well, at least not at my age!

Thanks everybody! V, it turns out Jack just had an upset tummy and he's back to his normal demanding self. Kimberly, you've come to know me too well: I DO smell like a monkey!

Seriously, thanks for the kind words. It's been a difficult week -- layoffs at work (not me), everybody depressed ... I needed my happy fix, and you guys provided it!
