Happy Birthday, sweet Nicole! And what a year it's been. Meeting you in MA in September and first hearing you play your guitar. Then partying in New York City in October and walking through Central Park in beautiful Indian Summer with you and our jmdl NYC gang. And just this January, your trip far-out West, and painting Anaheim and Los Angeles a festive shade of red with our jolly JMDL posse. It's all too beautiful...life is, sometimes. All the best to you on your special day. Thanks from my heart for the gift of your friendship. -Julius np: Stevie Nicks, "Seventeen"
