Happy Birthday Grayson!
My dear British friend Grayson,
Happy Birthday old chap. No you're not old yet. At 39, you're just entering into the best years of your life. Ask me in 11 years if there's much life ahead of you. I can assure you that there is at least 11 years of wonderful life ahead of you from here. You and I might have gotten off to a "wrong foot" in the beginnings of the board, but look who I took up for at the time. My mistake, and I apologize. I've come to respect and admire your contribution here, my friend. I hope this year is the beginning of a wonderful friendship. You are DA MAN. I hope you get the shotgun of your dreams that we've been talking about in the chat room.
May all your dreams come true, may all your wishes come to fruition, and may all your obstacles be obliterated before you. No, it's not the poetic Irish birthday wish, but it's my American version of same. You deserve all the best my friend. You let me know if there's anything I can do to make that happen.
With all best wishes,
Cary
