I know it's early, but I always forget on the day, so I figured I'd do it
early and surprise Lloyd.
(And I know Nikitta's not around to jump out of a cake, so my .sig includes
a quote by her as tribute to this fact.)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Many thanks, sir!
I must say all this "the day before" celebration thing is uplifting.
Maybe I'll have my birthday a day before my birthday every year...
Maybe not, it'll get too confusing.

6/4: I spent the day working the crowd at the World
Environment Day event up in San Francisco. Not only
did they have environmental groups of all kinds
doing their best to put on a good event, but they also
had every newspaper putting a good face on it, and
politicians from all over the world celebrating it..

They're called ticklers, as the early models had feathers on the ends of the
paper tubes to tickle your fellow partygoers' exposed bits.

Hippo bird? Is that a bird the size of a hippo or a bird looking like
