		<description>Don -- Don&#039;t worry, latecomers still get party favors. Want a magnet? OK, so now you have no excuse if you miss the next birthday. I&#039;m counting on you to be here first. About Diana, I actually remember the day she died, since it was on my human birthday. Thank you for the well-wishes and it wouldn&#039;t surprise me one bit if the bag is still in the tree. Seriously. It ain&#039;t movin&#039;.</description>

		<description>Now I know what it&#039;s like to show up at a party &lt;i&gt;two weeks late!&lt;/i&gt;  The best I can offer now is a belated &quot;Happy Birthday,&quot; and shove a couple of dollars in your fist while you tell me how delicious the cake that everyone else who showed up on time had the chance to taste, and how much fun everybody had playing &quot;pin the tail on the tree-bag.&quot;  And I imagine everyone else got really cool goodie-bags with jacks or marbles or thesauruses or transformers or whatever kids get in those bags I never got at the birthday parties I&#039;ve been to.  

And it&#039;s not like this date isn&#039;t already burned into my brain.  The Junk Drawer&#039;s birthday is the same day as my parents&#039; anniversary, which is also the same day Prince Charles married Diana, which had to have been on your mind when you began writing this blog.  

SO... a happy belated birthday to TJD.  I&#039;ve had a blast reading, and can&#039;t wait to show up on time for your second birthday--on my parents&#039; 47th anniversary--to check on the bag in the tree and scarf down some cake.

		<description>Aniya -- Don&#039;t worry, you&#039;ll get there. You&#039;re already three months in, so that&#039;s good. And if you&#039;re like me, you won&#039;t believe it when the time comes!</description>

		<description>Peter -- Oh, thank you! I&#039;m glad you stopped by. It&#039;s OK you&#039;re late. All you missed was the cake (that I swear put on 5 lbs alone!) Good to see you.

Arcade Games Fanatic -- Thanks! It was a blast!</description>

		<description>manilenya -- Too late! Polished off the last piece yesterday. But I did try to work some of it off today. We finally got a nice day for walking. I have a ways to go.

Alda -- Thanks! It&#039;s been great so far. I&#039;m looking forward to the next year.</description>

		<description>Flusche -- Never looked at it like that. I hope I can stay at PR4. I&#039;m not shooting for higher, but I don&#039;t want to drop either. Thank you!

manilenya -- Um, that&#039;s what &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; say. I think you&#039;ll find I could easily eat cake every day. Not proud of it.

Donna -- Thank you. I&#039;m still on my birthday high! This has been great fun for me.</description>
