Today is my 43d birthday. I thought it would feel a bit overshadowed by the stuff happening with the
book. But it has been wonderful so far and it is only 7 a.m.! Last night Ned brought me cupcakes from our
favorite cake bakery. This morning Max, Ben, and Ned hid tiny cards all over the house and I have been finding them. Max and Ben made a treasure hunt, and at the end there were bulbs Ben had bought me for planting! Max got me the
new Dane Cook CD! Ned got me the
new Neil Young,
Bob Dylan's No Direction Home, Ben Lee, and
Amos Oz's memoir. Nat gave me a cuddle!
