For my forty-fifth birthday we ate brunch at a now-in-slight-decline Bob’s Noodle 66, saw the excellent Pan’s Labyrinth, and I slow-cooked a Chinese lamb casserole for dinner. My presents included a snow brush to clear the car — which I needed today –, a CD of electric guitar desert music from Niger, and Neuberger dark chocolate from Sao Tome.
I am not close to starting Civilization IV, I am slowly reading through the works of Roberto Bolaño, watching Monty Python on YouTube with Yana, and interviewing four job candidates in the next week and a half.
I am continually reminded what wonderful readers Alex and I have — one of the best such groups in the world — and we thank you for visiting the blog and making our lives richer.
I am already grateful for what the next year will bring, and now to ponder tomorrow’s posts…
Happy Birthday! This blog is great, though at times some of the posts have been becoming a tad political.
Beware — Civ IV is downright addicting. I stayed up until 4:30 a.m. on the first night.
“Beware — Civ IV is downright addicting. I stayed up until 4:30 a.m. on the first night.”
I second that.
Be careful, or you’ll come down with “Just one more turn” syndrome.
Neuberger? Have you tried Valrhona?
Thanks for the writing and the wonderful leads; most recently, _Sacred_Games_.
Happy birthday.
And, does Neuberger beat Sacher tortes from Vienna?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!
45? I remember 45. Barely… Enjoy.
