Hal son! Thanks for the mention. I’m happy to hear that my passion for knitting has inspired you.

Be careful though, knitting can be an addiction.

Happy birthday! I didn’t know that song so had to look it up which led me to another.

I’ll mark it down to Zoom but those questions sound cerebral!

Happy Birthday Hal! I wonder if one day you could knit Islamic geometric designs?!

I adored that song too. I'm 8 years older tho'. When I was 19.. I was living one Spring Quarter in an uninsulated cottage on Lake Erie. With 2 albums: McCartney's, RAM, and one of Canadian Bruce Coburn's, my roommate brought. No car, one space heater, 2 bikes 3 miles from Kent State, Ashtabula Campus. Sugar Mountain is kinda like that. Someone close shares your birthday. Halim El Dahb's was around then too. Zoom nice idea. What to wear, what to wear? P.S.: You can be 20 Hal. He sounds cooler than cool, part of those desperado years,. Yet methinks? Neil wasn't right about everything.

Wow! You were so self aware and insightful as a young man and still are. I won’t be able to make your party. But I want to thank you. My daughter has ME/CFS and you gave me hope, when she first got sick, that she could be able to continue with her creativity and helping others. And so she has! She is very fortunate.

Happy birthday! Knitting is the best, and I’m finding the 60s superior to the 50s.
