Happy Birthday, Sam!
Sorry it's belated, but the well-wishing is just as strong as if it were timely! You have always been in my corner and invited me here to write to my little heart's content. Thanks for your generous spirit of inclusion. I hope you have a good birthday week.
I'd post a Smith's birthday song here, but it would have to be read with a dose of irony to not make me look insensitive.
