Shades: Birthday Edition - A Very Special Birthday Surprise!

Yes indeedy, you are reading this correctly.  Today is a legal holiday in honor of the footnoteMaven's Birthday!

Not only is she the editor and publisher of the award-winning "Shades of the Departed" (an online, full featured magazine) but she is also a very dear and special person to all here at Camp Fenley.  It is because of her, the world is a better place.

So, as one of the team of writers for the magazine, I join them in wishing the footnoteMaven a very     Happy Birthday!

My gift to you, Maven is something you probably won't ever see again - Tony Curtis, Frank Sinatra, Rock Husdon, Cary Grant and Marlon Brando dancing their behinds off to wish you happy birthday.

As if this video wasn't enough, please visit the blogs of the other brilliant writers to read their Birthday tributes to the footnoteMaven
