Paul! I’m so happy to see you. I thought somehow you’d left us.
You know, that Carmelite scapular you sent me was one of the most beautiful gifts I’ve ever gotten. I don’t even know where to begin thanking you for it, but I wore it faithfully until it recently broke. Now I’m looking for another. I actually feel wrong not wearing it.
I literally don’t know how to express what it means to me, because it means so much on so many levels. And I’m trying not to be gushy over just a little leather necklace. But it actually feels wrong that I’m not wearing it now, and I’m only not-wearing it because I can’t, it snapped.
Thank you, my brother in Christ, for that beautiful gift. Now if only I can move you away from your Calvinist heresies…. ;-)

Happy Birthday!
You little whipper snapper…
No longer the answer? That just depends on the question.
What’s the answer to life, the universe and everything, plus 1?
Happy Birthday!
43? Huh. I thought you were 45.
So, if you think about it, you age backwards!
Happy Reverse Birthday.
… I remember 43….
Hah! You’re just a kid! :)
Happy Birthday yesterday, Dean.
Happy Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel today. :-)

Hmmm… so that’s why Allen Iverson had such a bad year last year – he wasn’t the Answer as Dean was the Answer.
Happy birthday!
You may no longer be the answer, but you are the largest natural number that is not a McNugget Number.
Happy Birthday, Dean.
I turned 43, 30 years ago.
You just have to convince yourself you’ll outlive some of those sob’s that you really do want to outlive.
The plan is working.
