The big apple bday update

Hey folks,

I realize I leave you hanging a bit with my last both. Foolish moi! I had a lovely birthday, thanks to my pals Alicia GB, the infamous mollyjean jellybean, the long-lost Kris and of course my lovely partner Elly. Not only did my co-retreat-goers make a surprise vegan birthday cake, I spent a couple of evenings with low-key revalry...a local (to Brooklyn) political hip-hop show one night, and a down-the-block house party the next.

Sunday we were on a train and back to work for Monday, although neither myself nor my co-workers got in particularly early. In fact, I would up a bit under the weather and stayed home mostly. I've fought off a nasty cold that's going around here.

There will be pictures forthcoming, but I left my camera connector at my parents'. It's on its way to me as fast as the postal service will carry it.

Thanks to all who sent me birthday wishes!
