The Enlightenment made explicit what had long been implicit in the intellectual life of Europe: the belief that rational inquiry leads to objective truth. Even those Enlightenment thinkers who distrusted reason…never relinquished their confidence in rational argument…For the ensuing 200 years, reason retained its position as the arbiter of truth and the foundation of objective knowledge…But reason is now on the retreat, both as an ideal and as a reality. - Roger Scruton, 1999

Feliz cumpleanos! 40 anos since you were cumpled? Such a young thing.
Dirt turned 39 two weeks ago. Guess you are older than dirt.
Toda raba, O, I have sent you an e-mail. Neshikot gam lach.
Audie, you are just the sweetest.
Monkey, I think I've cracked the code, but I'll check with you later.
SS, I am not, as you say, "old". The currently fashionable adjectives used to describe a woman of 40 are "worldly" and "sophisticated". Someday you'll understand.
MM,
I think you are fabulous!!! All the best and I wish that I could be there to help you celebrate!

TM and Asshole, also thank you, and thank you for the phone calls.
