Happy Birthday Alan!

I suppose it would be fitting on this day to point out to the reader, that this blog has been made possible by the combined contributions of myself, the postal system, and Alan. But let's not bicker and argue over whose contribution is most important. Today I shall extoll the not insignificant efforts of Alan in transcribing my hand written entires, without which you would all have to find something else to waste your time reading. So many thanks to him for helping out in this endeavor.
