At the beginning of the year, I promised more birthday announcements. But it feels sort of silly to lead that off with my own birthday, especially in February. If your birthday was in January or earlier in February, let me know and I’ll get you set up with a post and a schedule for next year.
Anyhow, Happy Birthday to me! It’s been a pretty good year so far and planning many more days like today.
Lotsa love, Jim
