Dave, what about us short sopranos? (actually, to be honest, I’m somewhere between alto and soprano) Guess I’ll just be in the front row, then… **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPARROWHAWK!!!** Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!) “Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!” Approximate English Translation of Above: “Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!” (those of you who don’t know Chinese [like **I** know much of it…] will just have to imagine the clapping along to the beat that goes along with the chatsong of this greeting…) Have a very happy birthday, **SparrowHawk** … may you be blessed with health, happiness, and more of what you desire this year! 🙂 As for cake and ice cream… _quickly makes a HUGE black forest cake with cherries and frosting, and runs to the gelato store to get enough of it for all the Dopers_ How about a little music, as well?

Thank you for the beautiful lei (I know that came with a lei, **AudreyK** ), and the harmonization (truly inspiring, **TruePisces** ) and the Black Forest Cake (how did you know, **F\_X**?) and the um… music, a lot of which I don’t recognize since I am an Old Person, and the good wishes from **Cheri** and all who stopped by. And especially {{{{{{ **Dave** }}}}}} my great l’il bro. Your wishes and mine were granted and I had a great day. I also got a silk scarf and an amber necklace and fish and chips and _gasp_ ::swoon:: _a new computer!_ I am one happy Birthday Girl. 😃
