Happy birthday, my dear. I hope it is a pleasant one.
And yes, damn you, I'll take whichever of those infernal novels you've finished -- how DO they make them so compelling? Objectively speaking, they're awful, and yet I can't stop reading them -- and will look forward to hearing the trials and travails of wedding planning. At supper with Pomona last night, it became clear that I should be forcing myself to meals more regularly, at very least to keep the various Heads updated with what's happening in my classes, so I will be making more of an effort to achieve supper even if lunch is not likely; you can tell me then. (And of course there's the staff meeting tonight; I can teach you the game then, though perhaps after this week's setbacks I should make more of an effort to put my best foot forward and save the delinquency for later in the year. The superstitious fool in me is bracing himself for a third disaster, and hoping that by saying so I haven't just hexed myself; the students are doing that quite enough this week.)
At least my plans for most classes today involve nothing more dangerous than a lecture!
Wishing you blessed with many happy returns of the day, T
