Subject: [rollei_list] On Your Feet, Ye Slackards!

Make Namasti.  Today is my birthday.  Can someone
say something nice to a fellow cursed by being born on Friday the Thirteenth?

The real question is whether my wife or my best
friend or my son will remember the date.  My wife
generally forgets, though I give her broad hints
(we do not exchange presents, mind you), so let
that be as it may fall. (My wife's birthday is on
15 March, the Ides of March -- when she was born,
that was the date for filing US income tax
returns, and, as Bob Hope used to laugh, 'Beware
the Ides of March -- it's Income Tax Day!' and,
no, 15 April is not the Ides of April.)  My best
friend is tied up waiting for her daughter to
provide her with her second grandchild, and that
takes priority.  (Her birthday is on 2 December,
the 'day of the bees', Napoleon's lucky day, and
I've not missed noting her birthday in a quarter
century or so.)  And my son is closing station to
return from the Northern Slope in Alaska to
civilization, so an oversight on his part will be excusable.

There is no reason to flood my inbox with notes
of congratulation.  I am teasing you Rollei
folks.  I have reached 61 without being shot by an honestly affronted husband.

Be well,

Marc
