Out of the Blue

Thank very much for all the birthday wishes, they are appreciated. I had a fine old time for the occasion, including a delicious steak dinner, and at least one cocktail too many which rewarded me with a bit of a hangover. This is pretty uncommon for me, and I'm wearing it as a badge of honor that proves what a good time we had. Meanwhile, it's Thanksgiving here in the U.S. tomorrow, which will probably make for a quiet day. If you are part of the throngs travelling for the holiday, please be careful on the road.

R.I.P.: David Cassidy, '70s teen heartthrob, dies at age 67.
