"First of all, happy birthday to the sublime catsittingstill on her natal anniversary. I'm still entirely convinced that Cat is not strictly human, but somehow a Tolkien elf who never passed into the West, but at any rate, we're damn glad to have her around"

Oh, well, you caught me. I'm not actually 40; I'm 440. I was mentally traumatized about 40 years ago, and I elected to forget everything and start over as an infant. So I'm sorta-forty. ;-)

Thank you for your kind words and good wishes!
