I think it's tomorrow, the 11th, the same day as mine, as I recall from a recent thread on birthdays. <BR> <BR>Happy Birthday, Rex! What are you doing on your special day? I'm going to work, and then to school. No party for me this year.

Happy birthday, Rex. Almost ready for your trip to Italy?

Only two more years until you're eligible for AARP !!! <BR> <BR>Have a great day, Rex!

Happy Birthday Rex and thanks for all your wonderful Italy tips!

Happy Birthday to one of the site's most valuable contributors!

Shall we all post our birthdates? I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone. Rex has had his turn.

Happy Birthday Wishes Rex!! <BR> <BR>Have a great trip.. <BR>

Hmmm...interesting parallels. I live in Worthington, will be 46 on Wednesday and went to Italy (and loved it) in June. <BR> <BR>Have a happy birthday and a great trip!

Hey there!! - - another Columbusite - - getting my hopes up for a Fodorites' get-together here in Columbus, Ohio, but all surrounding neighbors welcome) in November. <BR>

Hey, Rex, Happy Birthday. <BR> <BR>I read the other thread, & hope you accept my sympathy for your loss. <BR> <BR>Remember, the best way to memorialize a life is to live yours to the fullest. May your life be filled with happy travels of all kinds! <BR>BC

Rex: <BR>Let me know if you decide to do a Columbus Fodorites get-together. I'm just down the road from you in Dublin!

Happy Birthday, Rex! <BR> <BR>You gave me advice on how to get a Fodor's pin - and it worked!! Thanks for that and all the other invaluable tips you share on this board. <BR> <BR>Have a great trip and we're expecting a full report on your return - with PICTURES!!

Mel - - really? <BR> <BR>We should get together individually, as well as a GTG. But after my trip (Sep 19-Oct 1). <BR> <BR>And to BC - - amen - - I may write you privately about this. We have so very, very little control over the quantity of life we have -- and so, so many choices to make that directly affect the QUALITY. <BR>

Hi Rex, <BR> <BR>my best wishes, too. Have a glass of Champagne! <BR> <BR>And I wish you a wonderful time in Italy (I`m off windsurfing at the Canary Islands-exact dates like your Italy trip). <BR> <BR>Cheers <BR> <BR>Miriam
