Wow, I made it through another year!

Yep, Mickey's big hand has rolled past the twelve and it's officially the annual anniversary of my birth. The brilliant and beautiful Bride of Upper Left will be preparing a celebratory feast and various progeny will be joining us for fine food and, doubtless, strong drink.

You, of course, may vicariously join in the festivities by visiting my Amazon wish list and making an appropriate selection, or my PayPal account and making an appropriate deposit or (less selfishly) my Kerry Core page and making an appropriate contribution.

Or not...hey, it's pledge week on NPR. It inspires begging.
