Thanks for all the birthday greetings, my friends. I lost track of the number after they topped a thousand. It may take me a day or two to even read them all, but they surely made a terrific day even more terrific.
At 61, I am content and well pleased with my life. I have so many blessings, among them that I am living what I consider a damn good life. I am surrounded by people who love me. I am still able to entertain and inform with my writings. I can look back on my past accomplishments and be proud of them. I can look forward with hope to future accomplishments.
I have confidence that the things I believe in and the positions I take are moral and well-informed. No one can make my decisions for me - the benefits of age and, yes, a certain amount of wisdom - and my decisions work out for the best far more often than they do not.
I am a happy man. Could there be a better gift on this or any other birthday?
Thank you, my friends. Thank you.
Tony

Nope. Maybe all that plus ice cream, sure, but then you just start to sound greedy and ungrateful — besides which, being surrounded by people who love you tends to lead to ice cream at some point anyway. I hope you had a great day.
Happy Birthday Tony! I can't wait to read your next book. If it's about comic history or one of your characters.
