I had decided that now is the time to disregard my birthdays completely; they come all too frequently. But it's not so easy. All these many many calls from Germany, from England and from around here, and then there is this Facebook thing ... how can people remember something so unimportant? It impressed me deeply and I felt bad since I am not good in remembering birthdays at all. And it is so nice to receive the calls all day long and to catch up with so many people. Suddenly it was quite clear to me that it had to be a little bit more of a memorable day than planned, and in a rush I prepared a nice display of food (part from the Fairway store, part from my kitchen). Chrissy and Stefan and Jay and Tom had time to come and we sat around the table finally. And it was nice. As always I got the biggest early morning display from Stefan and as always we slobbered down a piece of cake at 8:00 AM. A flat screen is not bad at all; I did not want it but oh boy, the movies look great with it and I have no trouble now reading the captions in foreign films. With Jay I will go to New Orleans in two weeks! Hurrah, that will be nice. Must say, birthdays are very nice, who said they are not (what comes with it is not!)
