Remember, it's not your birthday until it's the same time you were born. No cheating.

Hey, thanks y'all! I have in fact had a really nice couple of days; Secretariat and I had really nice dinner Weds. at my favorite restaurant in town, Higgins, and I did a bunch of other misc. goofing around, got tickets for Chvrches in the fall, restocked on paint supplies at the art store (including buying a couple of nice new Princeton bright 12s because I reliably destroy my flat brushes over time it turns out), did a bunch of painting and art fiddling, went out to get my free birthday donuts from Pips, and then went out last night to a newish vintage cabinets arcade last night and played video games with a couple of old friends and former bandmates because one of 'em was in from out of town for a few days.
Solid stuff all around, and super nice to wander back here and say hi and see birthday greetings from y'all.

The problem with the cake in jessamyn’s Picture is you can never eat the last piece...
Of course, Zeno told us a long time ago that you can never actually reach your birthday, yet here we are.

If the Metafilter Cortex has a birthday, then perhaps it was a real person all along. Perhaps more real than the rest of us. I would congratulate it, if I only had a voice to speak.

Sorry I am late to the party but ditto ditto ditto ditto ditto. And say, this days old birthday cake ? Can I eat it ? Or what ? Boy, I so appreciate you. Else I would have been torched and pitchforked into a gazillion bucket carrying walking broomsticks years ago.
