Amazing birthday!

Rebecca from the SkepChicks (remember her? Of course you do) noted that last Monday was James “The Amazing” Randi’s birthday!

I missed it. Some friend I am. Of course, in my defense, I didn’t even know. So belated birthday wishes prayers positive thoughts happiness to the man who is helping to rid the world of the scourge of uncritical thinking.

P.S. That’s Randi on the left, Murray Gell-Mann (he won a Nobel prize for discovering the quark!), and me, from Randi’s The Amaz!ng Meeting in January 2006. Oh– I’ll have kewl news about TAM5 shortly as well!
