Hummmm.....

Happy birthday to you!
You knit socks in twos!
Happy birthday, dear Foooolllll!
Happy birthday to you!

Big birthday wishes to the Fair Isling half of the Two Sock Knitters, a wonderful fiddler, all-around great guy ... and my absolute favorite husband. He likes to point out that as he's my only husband, he's also my least-favorite one, but we know it doesn't work that way.
He tears into shellfish like a hungry raccoon, makes delicious red lentil curry and invents ridiculous imaginary creatures, such as the Dumbgeness Crab, which pinches people who are being whiny and stupid about things. He also names all the wildlife in the yard and creates backstory and independent lives for them. He talks in funny accents around the house and isn't embarrassed to wear skirts while he contra dances. He's very good at cheering me up when I'm down, and cats and dogs like him because he smells nice. He's reasonably organized and he will do things around the house I think are gross, such as fish wet food out of the drain trap. He eats a lot of cereal. A lot. If I had gotten my act together, I would have made him pancakes for breakfast, he's that great.
