I was sorely tempted to make a "." comment but realized in time that it would scan as either sarcastic or morbid and so instead I've written this. Happy birthday: one fewer comment to delete at user's request!

I'm trying to work out some kind of 'Jessamyn the yodelin' cowgirl' bit here, but I'm not really coming up with anything. First off, I don't know if Jessamyn can yodel. Jessamyn, do you yodel? Well, if not, your birthday is a good time to start. Vermont could become a hotbed of yodeling. The Yodeling Librarians of Vermont! Yes! Be the change you want to see. Lead the way. Start yodeling now. RIGHT NOW!

I'd love to wish you a happy birthday Jessamyn, but I actually sat thinking about it for a moment and what I'd really wish for you is for every little thing that matters to you now and the things that don't matter now but will matter later slowly get more and more awesome until you're just sitting with your favorite drink some years from now and thinking, "Ya know, all this awesomeness started right around my birthday in 2013.

I can say without exaggeration that Jessamyn is one of the nicest people I've met in person. I don't know how she manages to be so decent and forgiving to everybody - even when they don't deserve it - but she does. That is enough alone to deserve a week of birthdays.
Happy happy birthday Jessamyn!!
