One day late, but I must acknowledge an anniversary (and not my parents', which it would have been their 43rd)

Happy birthday, HP Lovecraft
(August 20, 1890-March 15, 1937)!

I have enjoyed your wonderful stories and those based upon them for 18 years now. You were only four years older than I am now when you died of intestinal cancer. I wish you had lived to write more, but also to see your creations' effects on other writers and in other media.
