Happy Birthday Polycarp! I don’t mind you being that much smarter than me, unless of course you’re that much smarter than me **and only twenty freakin’ five** , in which case I hope your birthday sucks. ---

Polycarp should justify his wishy-washy once-a-year stance on birthdays; either he should have one every day, in which case I will criticise him for being greedy, or he should have none at all ever, which would also be clearly wrong and he would feel the cutting edge of my rapier-like intellect. Happy birthday **Poly**. ---

**Poly,** You’re a remarkable human being, and an inspiration to me personally. I’ve only got a couple of dreams left, and meeting you is one of them. Hope your day has been as wonderful as you are!
