happy birthday mamasue

while many of you may have spent this weekend bedecked in verdant homage to st. patrick, there's a higher holiday in the immediate a.g. clan: the anniversary of the birth of mamasue.

the details of precisely how many such anniversaries have been tallied prior to this year's commemoration are immaterial, and here at anyone's guess we try not to traffic in the exposition of closely-guarded secrets. no, instead we merely try to maintain composure while first singing, perhaps as far from key as possible, happy birthday, and then later, with earnestness, conveying gratitude for, well, you know, just about everything. like, thanks for not aborting me, mum. obliged to you.

feist - it's cool to love your family

and, again, a very merry happy birthday to you, yes you, mamasue.
