Happy Birthday, Muse.

O Muse,

I have vowed to stay out of your life because I cannot give you what you so richly deserve, although deep down inside I hope that, somehow, somewhay you will get it.

Today I am taking abrief exception to my self-imposed exile to congratulate you on achieving 40 years of a complete, fulfilled, meaningful life which I hope will continue for as long as you wish it to.

Now if you will indulge me, I will share with you (and I guess anyone else who happens to come along this page) a few things that I like about you, in no particular order:

1. Your enthusiasm for life
2. Your honesty
3. Your self-confidence
4. Your eyes
