Thanks to everyone for all your wonderful greetings!
Especially to you, Mr. Administrator!
I was told that in Jamaica the best birthday greeting one may get is: May you be as happy as the child born in a cemetery!
Somehow they regard that as good luck.
I was born on a Thursday, the Irish lucky day . . .
I received a birthday letter from my old boss today, the one I parted company with on rather bad terms in December.
But I didn't write "return to sender" but sent him an e-mail to thank him.
Before I left, I prepared the resume of the husband of one of his other assistants.
When my boss saw it, he blasted me for it, saying it was inappropriate etc.
Well, the lady sent me an e-mail today to say her husband got the job he wanted on the strength of the resume . . .
What poetic justice!
It's such a sunny day here that I'm going out there to rake the lawn! And later, off to an Italian restaurant for my favourite "Crostata" of white chocolate, raspberries and pistachio nuts!
And, Incognitus, as you see, I don't keep any secrets very well at all!
It's a good thing you haven't revealed your identity to me even in private!
Ciao!
Alex
