SHAMELESS!! You are shameless, ER, in seeking out Birthday greetings! I don't want people to know when I get older...you're so funny :-)
So, you replaced McCarthy or Jackson? Seriously, man, happy 43rd year on earth. The forties are the new 30's, at least that's what I keep telling myself.
I love Peter & the Wolf, used to listen to it all the time as a kid.
Wait a minute, what does a redneck like you know about Prokofiev?!? Oh, wait, that must be the whole "Erudite" thing . . . Softens up the Glen Campbell thing a bit . . .

Have a drink (warm milk of course), a steak (on second thought, better make that a garden salad, no dressing) and a good time (well, better not try that either at your age).
