Getting older, who you?! Bah, I don't buy it! I wonder, would ser Barristan "The Bold" Selmy complain thus? I don't believe he would!!!I think he would kill a few foes to prove it! How about challenging ser Romney to a duel on the Trident, or doing to House Fox what Tywin Lannister usually did to his foes? This would but prove your still youthful prowess and your ironclad resolve!

But in all seriousness, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday sir, may you have many more! All the best to you and your loved ones, much love health and prosperity! Thank you for your hard work, for your creativity and your imagination!

PS It was a pleasure to meet you in person earlier this year at a book signing in Toronto, your kindness and love for your fans is much appreciated!
