I love this post.
Poetic, gracious and lovely.

Great post. Yours is a blog where it seems simple and quick, and then I realize I have to read it again, and maybe again, and then I realize, OH, that's deep!

Tell Pete Happy Birthday from all of us down here in SJ. Very nice post
Happy Birthday, Pete!
