You’ll have better luck asking a goldfish to remember something for 3 days… :o … Or you can post here again Thursday evening (and it will probably already be Friday morning for me, so I’ll get you started early :)) Oh, and **TruCelt**?

Congrats on successfully completing another orbit! My mom forgot my 18th birthday (and then died two months later), and my wife forgot my birthday last year (but did make it up to me when she remembered). I’m not really a big fan of birthdays. ---

I missed it, but I miss everyone’s . My family’s used to it. I typically mail cards on the actual birthdays. Hope it was happy. ---

Thanks all! Celtling and I went to Wegmans and purchased a seafood feast. Then we went home, steamed, fried, curried and baked to our little hearts’ content, and ate until we dropped. Fresh Halibut was in from Alaska! And ginormous wild-caught scallops (they got the Madeira-cream sauce with a hint of mild citrus curry) and breaded haddock for the littlest palate, and fresh asparagus . . . and she still had leftovers from her two birthday cakes last week, so we stuck a candle in one of those. Super yummy! Thanks, tdn, for making me answer the question. I wasn’t really even thinking about it until you said. ---
