Yesterday was that one day a year on which the integer used to approximate my age changes. I mention this not to solicit acknowledgements of any kind (although I thank those of you who sent me greetings), but merely in order to explain why I received the card I'm about to describe.

Apparently, [livejournal.com profile] jwg wanted to make sure that I didn't forget what the abovementioned integer actually is. So, to start with, he handed me this envelope:





Inside was this card, the outside of which might have been a reference to our upcoming trip to Tanzania, or might have just been a continuation of the theme of not forgetting:





Inside was a message, to make sure I really don't forget:





I have about five months to come up with an appropriate response.

Meanwhile, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jered for his mention of Radius a couple of months back, thereby inspiring us to give it a try. A very lovely meal indeed, although we did not follow [livejournal.com profile] jered's example by ordering the tasting menu.

OMG- Happy Birthday, Robert!

I love that John took the time to construct that (I'd be curious to know how much thought process went behind it).

Any ideas for a response yet?

And btw... 62 is the new 62... just sayin'. You're fabulous!

:)

I dunno - the idea just cropped up when I went searching in my card supply for a card. That's how my camp variety show schticks get created, too.

62 is the new 62

Well, for me it is. For a few days, anyway.

Thanks.

For a moment I thought it was Elvish and I didn't need to try to read it.

If you think [livejournal.com profile] jwg would be sending me a message in Elvish, you haven't been paying quite as much attention as I had supposed.

That's funny. I read it right away, and then on second look noticed all the "62"s.

Oh God. I didn't realize it was readable till I saw fj's comment. Scroll up. Squint. Groan.

Nice job, jwg!

Yeah, it helps to get a couple of feet away from it.

Or to have bad vision to begin with. (Or is it because I'm also an LOTRs fan?)
