Happy Birthday Dear Emily......

Tommorrow (Nov. 17) is Emily's Birthday.......

I ran an entry at this time last year, that, as I review it, I realize that I can't really add to, subtract from or otherwise tweak or improve except to add another year to the timeframes specified in that entry. Therefore, it is not out of a sense of laziness or indifference that I offer it to you to read or reread here.

The past year, I am certain, has lent itself to the strengthening of those fine qualities I know she possesses.........I hope it has given her the happiness and prosperity she deserves. I further hope that the coming year sees the fruition of her best hopes and allows her a satisfied reflection.

After nearly a year of neglect of this website, I do not have near the readership to call upon to visit her and leave a Birthday greeting that I had at that time.....but to the faithful few who are still with me, I hope that you will take the time to wish her well.

I still haven't had the fortune to meet her in person, but I look forward to the time and circumstance that will allow that privelege with no diminished anticipation.

So, Happy Birthday, Dear Emily......

With warmest regards,

The Captn

Thus endeth the entry.............
