Dear Anonymous Hacker...

I must say that was quite the unexpected surprise! I first saw in my e-mail account notifications that people were commenting on my blog post "Anonymous Hacker infiltrates..." and I was SUPER worried that I was going to find some XXX message or an offer for free Viagra samples. :) It was a very nice surprise to see my own cute face (albeit decades younger!) smiling back at me!

It was a wonderful start to a great day, and it's not even noon yet! My Mexican friends, co-workers and students all remembered my birthday, and combined with the e-greetings from loved ones north of the Rio Grande, I feel pretty darn special.

I will have lots of pictures to post tomorrow. We have a big party planned for tonight, to celebrate the end of the semester with our students (and of course, my birthday and my goodbye with my students).

Thank you thank you thank you, dear Anonymous Hacker! And although I have NO IDEA who you might be, I send you a big hug. I will see you very soon (just 3 weeks from today!)
