Not every one makes it to the age of 80. And of those who do, only a precious few are still doing what they love. Elio's 80th birthday is this Saturday, April 26. He told me to restrain my eloquence here, but to see him at 80, still being a learner as well as a teacher, publicly writing and speaking about The Small Things, and enjoying life—well, that's an inspiration for me. Happy birthday, Elio! Mazel tov!

That could also describe your readers' reactions to your blog. Many happy returns.

As the hip-hop types say, Merry: tru dat. Many thanks to you, as well, for working on this fine blog.
I love the ASM logo that shows an illustration of the Earth made up of microbes---it is true.
Elio is a Prophet of the Prokaryotes, and so are you!
Thanks for the great job you both do with the information we find here several times a week!
