Celebrate Markov's 40th birthday six weeks late, because it was on July 24th and he didn't tell us!

with all this extra time I’ve had, sitting around in that silly box, I’ve been practicing my dance moves. So, whenever you’re ready, you and I can go out dancing and carousing in celebration of your big day.

P.S. Don’t tell Flirt, but while I was stuck in the box, the very kind postmaster made me a fake ID, so now I can get in to all the hot nightclubs!

Hope it was insanely amazing!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

I hope you have a year that’s worth wagging your tail over. And don’‘t worry too much about the wrath of Flirt. Her bark is much worse than her bite.

but … I do get to use the card… I could pinch myself

the birthday wishes, everyone!

I think you had the right thing going for you Markov in not revealing your 40th to us until after the fact. I have to admit that I’m regretting being so public with my own upcoming event. Still from one ‘67 birthday boy to another, happy belated birthday. Here are my wishes for you for the coming year:

May your creative muses inspire you to practice figure drawing again, as well as assist in finishing your thesis. May you find the motivation to exercise regularly, and recognize that playing on the weekend counts as exercise too. And may you find the funds and make the time to travel, whether it’s to see an active volcano or the northern lights, or just somewhere where you can kayak.

with a map on it!!

Happy belated birthday Markov!

you were turning 40!
Ha!
Happy Ultra-belated birthday!!!

We missed a milestone for you? Oh No!!!

I hope the start of your 40s is turning out to be crazy fun, exciting and abundantly cool. I’m right behind you early next year. Eeek!!!!
