hi. i'm don.

Because, why the hell not.

Not a milestone this year, a regular old (hee hee) run-of-the-mill birthday. But still getting a multiple-day celebration thanks to your family and friends who love you.

Here’s to 40-some more!

Everyone, go pester Jewells with birthday wishes at her various online haunts:

• Jewells in Seattle

Forty years ago today at 09:23 MDT, Julie Anne joined the world with a yowl, and the world blinked at the sudden arrival of this brightest of lights in its midst.

Forty years on, the light’s brighter still.

Look, even the kitchen calendar is getting in on the act.

On December 2, 1969, at 10:08 PST, Katharine entered the world. It’s been a hell of a ride since. ;-D

Happy birthday!

We all love you.

So today’s The Big Day.

Julie Anne and I sneaked into your office last night and did some decoratin’, complete to photographic proof.

First the whiteboard:

We had to range far and wide to find the right combo of dry-erase markers for the faux confetti effect.

And then the desktop:

So here’s to the Big Four-Oh, and to many more.

Everyone: Go wish Katharine a happy birthday on all of her sites:

Thank you for everything over the years.

Know that we love you and miss you.

Have a good day!
