It was a good day. The best birthday ever. Though there were some interruptions.
Kenny called and sang into my answering machine, Dave said something really scary, and I got this on my moo screen when I got out of the shower:
[+][beam] Kat has connected.
[+][beam] Kat exclaims, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!"
[+][beam] Kat does her obligatory duty.
[+][beam] Kat has disconnected.
And yuka bought me a beer mug!
Oh, and I called my mom to thank her for having me 40 years ago... there was silence on the other end of the phone, then I heard "oh, yes. It IS your birthday today. I wasn't sure what day it was..." That's what you get when you spend your summer on an island. She was thanked nonetheless.
