Millennials and GenXers have BirthWeek celebrations. I grew up with BirthDay, and with age has become a bit more BirthHour celebration. This year we’ll try BirthWeekend, complete with Itinerary http://poppasbirthday.wordpress.com/about/itinerary/ and coincident with Canadian Thanksgiving.

Excited!

when we picked up Socks ashes yesterday.

Got thinking about Vancouver, so looked up the old homestead. I know each of those Photinias, Japanese maples, pieris and blades of grass, etc. personally

Yes apparently you can waste a good deal of your day on social media. Another reason why is good only have a bday once a year.

Happy Birthday, Dad! We wish we could be with you today to celebrate. We thought this would be a good place to present your gift: A [Belated] Birthday Celebration in Brooklyn. Check out the itinerary here: https://poppasbirthday.wordpress.com

Oh yeah that. Shouldn’t be too tough to translate those words into American English.

A cat who thought he was human, and had more personality than a few humans I have known. Probably not a coincidence that he leaves us on one of, if not currently the most poignant day of loss in the country. Survived by all of us, and St. Andrews Episcopal Church parish.

Iraq’s Last Chance
Iraq has devolved into a combination of Lebanon and Nigeria — a toxic brew of sectarian politics and oil-fueled kleptocracy.

And like everyone else I don’t need to actually read and understand Pinketty’s pov on the issue, I can just quote the conclusions. Maybe People magazine or 60 Minutes will do a story on it so I can pretend to get it in a little more detail.
