Chris, happy birthday mate. It's great to hear about this, there's a card underway as well, but it might take time before it arrives. Strange how things happen don't you think? I couldn't have known we'f be this close by now. I mean, 4 years ago we didn't even know each other! Now we're close friends, having regular e-mail contact. 30 years old.... do you feel that you're wiser now? Most people seem to feel different once in their 30's. You probably won't feel that change so much, since you've always been wise. For you it's probably confirmation of something you already knew.
Anyway, I hope we can stay friends forever and just let me know when you want to have a chat, you have my e-mail address.
Bye Chris, happy, happy birthday
