Happy birthday, Mark

I know it hasn't been very long since you lost your Mom and I'm sure you'll be thinking of her today, too. She left behind a wonderful legacy in you.

Wishing you all the best, @Mark . Hope you find some time to celebrate your day. Rock on!

Thank you wtg. My oldest daughter is here today. We are going shopping for various stuff.

Happy birthday @Mark

Thank you all. I had a wonderful day with my daughter and Mrs. Mark. Daughter bought me this wonderful 1960s vintage Parker "Flightet" ball point pen to go with the same vintage Flighter fountain pen i have. And the Mrs. Got me a new watch. I normally don't wear a watch but we were at the jewelry store to pickup her Valentine's day gifts and she asked me if I wanted anything.

The pen

the case is handmade in Japan. Daughter gave it to me for Xmas

My first "cool" watch. It's solar powered!

@Mark - Nice!

I thought of you and Mrs Mark when I was at IKEA a couple of days ago, coincidentally on your birthday. Remember when we met in the restaurant some years back, when you were in Schaumburg for an electronics convention?

[Mark]

Of course I remember! It's was the first and only time we have been to IKEA.
