Happy Birthday, Keith!

Happy Birthday, Keith!  I echo someone else's comment that it is 
sincerely hoped that you and John don't wind up associating your 
birthdays with tragedy in years to come.  My father-in-law's birthday 
is April 19, which was usually a cause for celebration for him, as it 
is Patriot's Day, but then the Oklahoma City bombing occurred on 
April 19...It's hard for him now, having this birthday, but we always 
try to make it a happy one for him.

We must all remember at times like this that even as the buildings 
were coming down and ending people's lives, there were babies being 
born in NYC and around the world.  We must continue to celebrate life.

P.S. Glad you liked the fic, Keith.  Moody's bit in Chapter 26 was 
actually adapted from a speech I gave at a rally at the PA state 
capital concerning hate crimes.  The work continues...
