Ma! Tell yer own Ma I said most Happy Birthday.

And by the way, extracurricular activities generally yield the best results.

It is a cultural interchange, language barrier buster, ambassadorial sorta "everyone loves showers and back rubs" kinda thing.

Very important to international relations. I simply try and do my part....

I am SO HAPPY that you are doing your part to better international relations....d:o)
