❤ Happy (birthday) HIRL ❤
A big thank you to all my friends, well-wishers and fellow incorrigibles for today’s extravaganza. How awesome to have not one, but a double-superhero hashtag #Wolverine2WonderWomanHappyBD accompanied by a #punderstorm and trending of my favorite #ScienceEveryday .
This began with a mysterious package. I came home to find it partly open.
Husband: The calendar you ordered has arrived
Me: I didn’t order a calendar
Son: See, I told you it was from her G+ friends!
A few minutes later, my giggles over images of a moustachioed Freddie Mercury Buddhini Samarasinghe trying to break free with a pipette, Wonder Woman Thomas Kang in drag, and variously exposed males ( Dan and Peter identities protected, you know who you are) force me to explain my (undeserved!) reputation as a connoisseur of men in kilts. Was it my imagination, or did my husband just pull his knees in a bit? 😉 Oh yes, my secret admirer Hugh Jackman (sadly, the secret part refers to his inexplicable ignorance of my existence), being devoured by cake queen Kimberly Chapman !
Then I had a most distinguished delivery man in the form of William McGarvey , who came bearing gifts of strawberries, chocolates, and a superb Pinot Noir. When I saw the card, I knew there had been a whole lot of monkeying going around. Appropriately, I served Bill my last slice of banana bread.
Thank you all for making today, and everyday, so special!

Happy birthday Rajini Rao You deserve every bit of ‘special’ that makes your day every day.

I’m new to your site. I’ve studied some physics and mathematics (a long time ago), and I really enjoy your posts. I was never interested in biology that much, but the posts always blow my mind. Seems that biology is very interesting, after all 🙂
Happy birthday! By the way, I’m in Haymarket but I can’t seem to find a way to get out there past Baltimore. I could take the train, it would take all day. Should I do it? What do you think?
Sheesh.. I almost missed this post.
Thank you Rajini Rao for being you, you are such a nice and lovely lady 🙂
Thanks William McGarvey :)) btw..you both look great 🙂
