Presumably in recognition of my birthday, an anonymous donor has purchased twelve months of paid LJ account for me. Thank you, anonymous donor. I expect to show my appreciation by expanding my icon usage and being able to review up to my 25 most recent comments. I hope that's no better nor no worse than you expected of me.

Speaking of icons, I myself am observing my half-century mark by updating my default icon (the cartoon of me) and the icon used on posts tagged me (the photo of me). Now I must remember to do this for all my other regular forums too.

As for the birthday itself, I was more bothered by the prospect of turning fifty during the year I was forty-eight than I have been this year. I don't know why.

Thanks to everyone who's already wished me well for the day.
