Dear Binda,

You used to be a Baptist, right?  Or was it Catholic? I’m asking because you sent an oddly religious birthday card to me. Come to think of it, the cake you sent was oddly religious too. Or was that Eddie Vedder’s likeness on the cake. By the way: great cake. You know how much I like pineapple. You always remember the little things.

I’d like to say that I spent my birthday with friends and family. But instead I spent it with you, on Youtube. I was looking back at some of the vlogs you did, when you used to take viewers on shopping sprees or we could all just watch you cook and eat. Those were the good old days. I call it B.B. “Before Brian.”

Please thank him for my gift too. His was oddly not religious. It was a book about the discovery of DNA. I like how people discover things. He’s good at knowing me too.

Thank you both!
