Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Wow! I loved all your wonderful wishes yesterday for my birthday. I wanted to answer them all but fell behind and couldn’t keep up. But I read each one and smiled and thank you for taking the time.

A few years ago I keynoted a conference that fell on my birthday so 1,800 people in the audience sang Happy Birthday to me. It was great fun, but those fine folks sang because I ask them to. Yesterday Su Hutchens called from a 3rd grade class where she was substituting in Colorado so her kids could sing Happy Birthday to me. They sang because they wanted to, and it was SO much better. Su, thank you again. Please tell your students again how much I loved hearing their voices.
