Thank you all for the happy thoughts, especially to Diane.
I don't count birthdays much but this one has been memorable for two reasons. I spent the most of it away from home, but driving back from a meeting in Paris that lasted all week. It was lovely getting the Facebook congrats from Diane and others (who will be thanked there). The other reason is that it marks the countdown to my leaving my employment in 364 days time, after serving over 36 years. Time is running out - anyone got a job going spare?
