The Hobbitt is also The Artist's Muse, my companion and my best friend for almost 40 years.

We've done lots of things together and if people see anything good in me, it's really the Hobbitt that they're seeing.

Thanks for keeping me straight all these years and for being my inspiration and my better half, and for going and doing with me in all of our adventures together.

So on your birthday, I lift this glass of cava in toast to your love and your companionship.

Happy birthday, Hobbitt!!

Here's to our future together.
