"Happy Birthday to you."
Troparion - Tone 4
Prophet and Forerunner of the coming of Christ, although we cannot praise you worthily, we honor you in love at your nativity, for by it you ended your father's silence and your mother's barrenness, proclaiming to the world the incarnation of the Son of God!
Kontakion - Tone 3
Today the formerly barren woman gives birth to Christ¹s Forerunner, who is the fulfillment of every prophecy; for in the Jordan, when he laid his hand on the One foretold by the prophets, he was revealed as Prophet, Herald, and Forerunner of God the Word.

it would be cool if sometime you and the family could come celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of St. John at St. John the Forerunner Monastery in Goldendale.

...Yeah it would!
You know what else would be cool, if "Herman the Name-Day Clown" could make his way down to SoCal to sing the Troparion in full regalia!

John - I am happy to see you publish again.
