Each birthday is a new beginning, full of promise and opportunity and the chance to make dreams come true.

Most of us enjoy birthdays over New Year’s Day because it serves as a unique marker in time that we all own to recall the “best of times and worse of times” we experience from year to year.

Today April 17th marks a special day for all of us at GearDiary to celebrate a special occasion; and no, we’re not talking about the debut of Daffy Duck in 1937, but rather Judie’s birthday!

While our geek oriented life can throw us challenges that try men’s souls: Mac or PC?, surf or turf, packing and moving, deadlines, dents in our cars, dropped calls, 2 year contracts, no internet… one thing we can say about Judie when facing challenges – she’s consistent.

All of us on the writing team have come to witness the consistency of cheerfulness, humor and generous spirit that Judie exudes in her text messages, phone calls, and the mountain of emails from dawn to dusk. Quick to encourage, constantly multitasking, always asking great questions, but most endearing to those who know Judie, it’s her genuine love of people and humbleness – just try to pay her a compliment – “pfft!” – and she’ll deflect it back on you. It’s no wonder that we are blessed to call Judie Lipsett “friend”.

On this special day, we extend a big-time clap*clap*clap to Judie Lipsett and why not? You R.O.C.K.! Happy Birthday!

P.S. By the way, a cake is on its way to you now… question is, will it ship?
