"All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much . . ." -- George Harrison

   

The last time I had Chinese food, which was a couple of weeks ago, this was the fortune I received in my cookie:

I guess you can see why I haven't had any Chinese food since then.

The question is, how did the fortune cookie gods know my birthday was coming?

Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.

-- Jennifer Yane

Birthdays are one malady for which they have not found an acceptable cure -- there is a simple one, of course, but the side effects are so dire that we all not only welcome our birthdays every year but pretend we're happy to see them.

 

That's why I'm giving a party

complete with an array of cakes . . .

 This is one of 3 (three!) splendid desserts we have enjoyed chez Susan so far . . . yes, I said so far . . . and it arrived yesterday in the hands of one of my favorite 6 year old boys -- an old Sunday School student.

. . . and a Small Works
