Happy Birthday

You might not know it-- there is no reason why you should-- but today is my birthday. Obviously, this only matters to a select few, and I am happy that most of them remembered it.

I am also aware that in certain precincts-- as in Facebook-- people use their birthdays to raise money for worthy causes. Surely, that is a good way to celebrate an important milestone.

If I were to do the same, I would want to see a sign. The sign would identify a cause, one that I can wholeheartedly support. 

Happily, I did not need to look very far. I needed but recall that on Sundays I have paused my usual round of commentaries and have posted a request to raise funds-- to compensate my efforts. 

So, I am happy to invite one and all to join me in celebrating my birthday, by contributing to this blog. The Paypal button on the left will serve you well in this endeavor.

Or else, you may mail me a check at 310 East 46th St. 24H  New York, NY 10017.

Thank you in advance.
