Happiness to Michelle!

Happy Birthday to my cousin Michelle!
Hope it's a beautiful one for you.
Fun Fact: Every time you celebrate someone's birthday at a restaurant or other public place, you are technically committing copyright infringement by singing "Happy Birthday to You". The song was written 1893, and copyrighted in 1934. Although the original copyright would have expired in 1991, two intervening acts of Congress have extended it through at least 2030. This would explain why some restaurants make up their own silly birthday songs for their staff to sing to patrons. The song earns about $2 million per year in royalties.
