Happy, Happy. Hardly seems possible.

Here's a birthday story.

Once there was a little boy named Jacob who, like most little boys, was always very hungry. But this day, he was especially famished because his parents had dragged him all over wine country and the only nourishment he'd had in hours was Chardonnay grapes hanging from the arbors at Justin winery.

Finally, we sat at a table and ordered food, but something was taking an awfully long time.

Eventually, some of the food arrived, but not Jacob's, who sat dejected and on the verge of tears.

Then in an unprompted, unscripted act of kindness another little boy who was a little bit older offered to share his supper with Jacob. Something Jacob remembers to this day.

That boy is having a birthday today.
