I just turned 80 and my son's card had a birthday poem on it: "May the beer be cold....and also, you're old."

You stand for integrity. You also give us what we need to hear to persevere. I think we need not so much to fight, but to outsmart the opposition – as a Ukrainian jazz club and experimental theater owner put in this morning on NPR: we can laugh and we can be creative (which is more than they are capable of – the parenthetical statement within the parentheses is mine). If they don't get the joke, then they don't get the joke.

Belated Happy Birthday. 20 years ago right about now, I was in the audience at Cornell U. when you previewed parts of "Bowling For Columbine". Let's hope there are better times ahead. As George said, "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there."
