I want to take a moment to send out best birthday wishes to Frans, one of the few times I've managed to do this on time over the years. I'd say happy birthday, but that might be a stretch, as he is currently mourning a death in the family, so I'll wish him peace and comfort for now, along with sincere condolences for his loss.
