Today is my birthday

[ellen_datlow]

... and I stayed up till about 2:30 to see it in (that's around the time I was born).
Ellie called me at 10:30 to sing me the birthday song (not Happy birthday but the other, better one).

I have to get ready for my annual birthday lunch with one friend and then later am going to Brooklyn for a birthday dinner with other friends. And if the weather isn't too awful, we'll go to the beach to see in the new year.

Lá breithe mhaith agat! Enjoy your birthday! Make sure to look south at sunset and catch Venus in the sky if you're at the beach!

And Happy New Year! May you bring us more wonderful stories, and yourself more joy in the coming year!

And by coincidence, I bought a copy of _Poe_ yesterday.

Happy birthday! I've never had any trouble being awake for my birth time, but since that's 9:00 in the morning, that's not saying much.

Happy Birthday! Late December Capricorn, eh? I think the old divination system using playing cards has a special card just for you...December 31 is the only card associated with the Joker, which is kinda cool...but don't ask me where I learned that, it's been decades since I read it.

Anyway, enjoy and I hope 2009 brings you much joy and gusto!
