Happy Birthday to Me! It's a day to celebrate, commemorate, honor and appreciate all that's Wagh. With Waghmas coming up in a few months, and Thanks-Wagh-Giving coming up in just about a month, today is the day to take a break and ponder over how Wagh has benefitted you and the world.

A friend emailed me good birthday wishes and included a phrase that's common amongst Indians and probably lots o' people from former British colonies: "Many Happy Returns of the Day."

I've heard that over the years, and always wondered what it means. "Many happy returns."

Are there unhappy returns? What are the returns? In sales, businesses hope that there are no returns. If you have a receipt, I guess that can make your return a little happier. But sometimes you just get a store credit, and that's ok if it's the kind of store that you'd shop at, but what if it's a store that you don't go to often, and in your few visits, you never found anything you liked much anyway? Like the thing you're returning, for example.
