Here on my birthday there are a lot of significant things that I could say as I look back upon my life but I'll spare you the boring details by giving you the best secular quote I've read this year:
You were born an original. Don't die a copy.
~John Mason
Outside of the Bible, I think that's about the best advice I've ever read. I firmly believe it
and now pardon me as I prepare for our garden party where I'm going to eat so much barbecue that I'll sprout horns.
