Well, first things first. Happy birthday. May this year bring UPS to your door many times.

Now, my box... It wasn't yours and it wasn't a free MSDN subscription! It was a large box full of little packages of biscotti that my wife had ordered from a catalog company. They were supposed to be Y2K gifts for friends and family -- just a little bit late.

Add to that the fact that our new dog, who was supposed to arrive on a Delta flight yesterday, is now delayed until Sunday afternoon, and I was one sad puppy last night!
