August 23

I've been reading Spoon River Anthology, by Edgar Lee Masters. Thanks to my Mom, I found out that he shares my birthday (or I share his, if you prefer): today, August 23. He's a bit older than me. In any case, I just realized it's a prime birthday (43), which means nothing, but is touching anyway (an Austerlitz reference, for you Sebald fans).

    Many happy returns! Did you blow out all those candles? Was there global warming?

    We skipped the candles so as not to contribute to global warming. :-)
