What a life brimming with "six symbols". Keep it up, ol sport! And don't ever give up your "day job" of jewelry making. You've really got a knack for it!

Hey Chuck, happy birthday! I live in “Tomorrowland” (aka Australia) so it is your 60th birthday right now. I’ll buy you a cake to celebrate, then eat it myself :)

I was born in 62 as well, but in November. How weird it feels to make it to this age & still essentially have the brain of a 16 teenager (well, I do anyway). Have a good one.

HBD Mr. P! Another inspirational piece. Although I'm not sure I understand this part: " He whispered, “And now she is talking about your beautiful wife and your eight beautiful children…” Still, God bless her for trying."

This story makes me hungry for KFC mashed potatoes!

Did your handwriting evolve to what it is now, which is suggestive of an illustrator, or did you decide to actively change the way you write? I had spent several minutes debating over whether to mention that when thanking you for the prize (and then decided not to mention that).

And Happy Birthday!

What do you want for your birthday?

What does one get someone for the big 60?

A coffin? No. No that’s 70. I think 60 is a M-72LAW Rocket Launcher and socks… lemme know! ⭐️❤️🎊🎉🥳

Happy birthday, Chuck!

The link/coincidence of your birthdate coinciding with other authors in pretty neat. I’m quite dubious of a providence existing, but if it does, it appears to have done the “you get a car routine!” but with writers 60 years ago. And thank said hypothetical providence for it. Or don’t? Thank entropy and random patterns that make themselves known across time? Eh...

Happy 60th birthday Chuck!

You said I couldn’t send you a gift but I found a way to upload/share that silly picture I’ve been meaning to show you.

Please get a birthday laugh out of this: https://imgur.com/a/I0wQzr4

Here in the Great White North, Chuck's birthday falls on Family Day (in most provinces but, incidentally, not mine). It's wonderful that Grandpa Chuck gathered us all together to form this lovely, supportive family.

My grandmother played the same role in our clan.
