Happy Birthday!
Warmest wishes for a happy birthday to Daddy Dylweed! Capricious Fortune has been especially cruel to Dylweed of late, the only upside being the chance to see my old friend more often than I normally would. Under different circumstances, it would have been ideal. Here's hoping the next year is kinder than the past year. Happy birthday, Dylan!

Commentary: Where's the fun in an amiable parting of the ways? Venomous acrimony, now that's how you make a memory.
