Birthday wishes were deeply appreciated; thank you, all. I have a stack of books that arrived with unexpected efficiency and timeliness from Amazon, mirabile dictu. And if Camie Schaefer and Erin Rogers were the ones who sent me a shiny pretty from my wishlist then thank you so much! (If it was Clare Moss in a fugue state, she doesn't remember.) Saving the birthday wine for Friday.
