Carol, my wife picked a good day to be born!  We'll be celebrating her 
birthday a bit late this year on account of going to Disneyworld next week! 
Maybe my 'birthday girl' can meet up with this 'birthday Mouse'!  I wonder if 
they do anything special on Mickey's birthday, and if so, maybe we should 
plan to be there in another year!
