Aw shucks

Thanks a whole bunch, eh (I'm writing in Canadian, translation available on request.) And here's me thinking that if I didn't say anything, my birthday would pass unremarked .... But I did have a good birthday; lots to eat and drink, esp. the latter ... a few close friends dropped over, bringing potent potables and green tobacco

I'm almost fully recovered ... I can still drink llike a fish, but to recover I have to hibernate like a kodiak ...
Anyway, ta very much, I really appreciate the good wishes.
