I'm an old man now. What a great party last night. We had booze, we had music, we drew on a giant map. My sister gave me a haircut so I look boyish once more. Many friends were there, and I'll post some pictures soon. I got a little cranky at the end -- still a bit sick -- when I felt it was time to go to bed and there were still dertermined beer-drinkers about. In any case, it was a grand old time, and I felt the birthday love.
