Melodium Podium

Ha! Along the way to wanting to wish Sara a Happy Birthday in India, I became a blogger. I like this! Hello world. Happy Birthday, Sara!
This reminds me of the Melodium Podium. At Oberlin College, a few (ahem) years ago, we'd hike out to the reservoir for skinny dipping. There was a smooth flatish rock just big enough to stand on, sticking out of the water, which we christened the Melodium Podium. We took turns swimming to it, standing up and reciting an extemporaneous poem, saying, or other silly thing made up on the spot, then diving back in while everyone was laughing.
So now that I've found myself on the Melodium Podium of the blogesphere:
"Hat's off to you, friend around the curve
of the earth, and here's to your birth
a few years ago today, celebrate, I say!
To Sara, a meritorious Indian day!
