I am going to have one hell of a birthday on Wednesday!

What a gift - a new president and vice president! And the end of four years of horror.

Not a bad way to mark turning 65!

(it's an odd birthday to have - every four years I am either overjoyed/relieved, or horrified!)

And my mother's was 1/6. She liked waking up to learn about the GA wins; not so thrilled about the rest of her B-day present.

I know how you feel. I share a birthday with 9/11. Don't know whether to be sad or happy.

But several family members already told me that I'm getting my present on Wednesday at noon. I think I'm getting the same present as you!

Never realized my B-day would someday align with a national holiday, LOL - Mine's today, Martin Luther King Day! I'm so very excited for your special day to get here; "President Joe Biden" will be so wonderful to finally say! You have a joyous birthday this year, NRaleighLiberal.

And I promise you that I will open a bottle of champagne to celebrate your birthday. 🍾🥂

I might also be celebrating the fact that we are going to have a new president and vice president, and sanity is going to be restored to the country!
