Happy birthday, baby!

Posted on Posted in Uncategorized

Okay, so let’s set aside the cat issue for the time being, because today is a Very Big Day. Today is Billy’s 40th birthday! (Clearly I am the much younger wife.)

Happy happy happy birthday, baby! I love you so much! Thumper loves you so much! Diego loves you so much! Your evil pee-terrorist cat apparently loves you so much!

Billy always reads the blog comments (except when it’s about knitting). Could you please help me wish him a happy 40th?
