Two congratulatory messages are very much in order today. Here they are:
Happy birthday to my maternal grandfather, who turns eighty-seven years young (as they say) today. He is a World War II veteran who served in the South Pacific. After the war, he became a successful electrician. I'm very lucky to be able to say that I still have both him and my maternal grandmother around.
Happy anniversary to Mrs. Hasslington's mother and step-father, who have been married for a decade as of today. They live on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean from us, but at present, we're saving up money for a (hopefully extended) visit to England next summer. Such a future trip to our old stomping grounds is a nice thought on a cold winter day in Minnesota.
