Victoria, thank you for acknowledging our greatness - we ARE like Martin Luther King (whom Stevie Wonder wrote that song about).
And thanks to everyone for your good wishes.
I'll tell you all a secret that I told Melinda (Sashca) on the phone this morning - well, usually to celebrate my birthday, I get together with some of my favorite friends (usually all women) and do something lovely. Like last year we spent the evening at the beach near my house, singing and laughing as the sun went down. Some years it's a pretty big party, some years smaller and simpler. Well this year, can you guess what kind of celebration I organized? None - it would have taken too much time from my BBM obsession. I had this sense that I would be sittin' on the beach wonderin' when I could get back to you all. Kind a lame, hunh?
And when David asked if there was anything I would like for my birthday, I told him there are two things: a gold harmonica charm (I've been eyeing one online for months but couldn't justify the expense), and to have my BBM poster mounted.
Anyways, I sure am glad to be here with you little darlin's.
Love,
Clarissa
