Thank you for the gift of riddles and surveys.

What did one birthday candle say to the other?

Do you prefer your pizza hot or cold?

You aren’t just 71, you are still also 5, and 11, 16, and 23, 35 and 50, and 60. Multi-layered and rich inside as surely as thousands of strokes of paint on a masterpiece.

We’ve only got a hundred years to live. Hope your day and year ahead is magic.
