Wishing you many happy lips of the Jemaine

Here’s a toast to walls and flowers and women who like them both just fine but not as a combo pack, please. “Yes Senator, I’ll be glad to fetch you that martini. Now where should I send the affidavit?”

Here’s to steely gaze and eyes that crinkle in laughter. To the gruff and the growl and the big ole’ grin.

Here’s to justice and generosity, to will and willingness. To giving like a ghost: gift appears and giver is gone.

Here’s to jetting off to international conferences and sitting in a corner to knit a cap for a little boy in the hospital.

Here’s to being a feminist, a womynist and a hopelessly pathetic Conchordist.

Here, since we’re on the subject, is to half a century of Sue Osthoff. Now there’s a reason to lift one high and toss it back.

Happy birthday Sue O!
