Happy birthday to surrealestate, who has brought many wonderful things into my life, but none more wonderful than plumtreeblossom — surrealestate is how we met.

surrealestate, I hope you really enjoyed your birthday present, even though it was about a week early. I bet you will get lots of enjoyment out of him! Properly cared for, he can last a lifetime. :-) And I hear you have a late birthday present coming, too...

Thanks for being a part of my life, surrealestate! You’re a delight, and I hope you’re having a wonderful birthday.
