Happy Birthday mr. flea!

[flea]

Today is mr. flea's 40th birthday. He has generally not liked birthdays, and especially milestone ones, but today he told me he was as happy right now as he's ever been in his life.

He really likes and fits in to his job here; yesterday he gave a talk at work and told a senior colleague that he was nervous about it and the colleague expressed surprise, saying he'd never seen anyone new get up to speed and fit in to the workflow as fast as mr. flea had. It is definitely the right place for him, and I hope will continue to be (since his job is currently a post-doc, extensible for 3 years at most, so he needs to get converted to a permanent position at some point).

He is happy with our family life, our neighbors, our house, this town. Yay!





Now I need to work on this happiness thing.
