Happy Birthday to My Favorite Scorpio

His horoscope says he's "one of the most compelling, wise, and intense people in the zodiac" ... and I can tell you that's true.

He is a source of great calm for me. A solid soul who centers my scattered self.

As was said of Elizabeth's I's spymaster Walsingham, "Video et vaceo" ... he sees all and says nothing.

(Oh, eventually he'll say something. A few words that cut to the chase ... and then he forgives completely.)

And I think he would have made a great spy. But I'm glad he's who he is instead.

I have never known a better man. And I am so glad he was born.

Happy Birthday, Jim. I love you.
