Let’s celebrate Dave Ross… 
Happy Birthday Bro! It's still your birthday on this side of the world!

Well, isn't that special! Exactly what I would have said to you if I'd gotten here on your ACTUAL birthday. I specialize in being late with birthday greetings ... just to extend that holiday feeling a little longer.
(BTW -- are you EVER coming back? What if we were to have an MOL-F2F? Could that lure you to visit our time zone?)
Happy, happy!

The thought struck me recently that, if MOL F2F gatherings were to resume, it might be possible for some of the far-flung contingent to take part, now that streaming platforms such as Zoom have become much more ubiquitous.
(Restoring the thread to the previous discussion):
Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday from me, too, Dave.

Love this idea. Locals who are more or less homebound or who have other commitments on the selected day/time could participate virtually too if the gathering were hybrid. We should have a camera on option and those who wish to remain anonymous could sign in with their user name displayed in the box containing their image.
I think it’s Dave Ross’s birthday…let’s all wish him a glorious day! May good fortune and happiness brighten every day!
