It's the year when some poet said we must love or accept the consequences

It is my birthday. I am thirty-two years old. I woke to [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel calculating when I would be thirty-three and a third. (Sometime in February 2015.) I have a card from my parents with a midway motif, a copy of Evangeline Walton's She Walks in Darkness (Etruscan!), and from Rob a framed print of the iconic sign of Lyndell's Bakery, a meeting point between our households when I lived on Dartmouth Street; now we visit it together. It will be the first piece of art we hang in our new home. We are going to spend the afternoon at New England Aquarium and then see if we can catch the restoration of The Caine Mutiny (1954) at the Brattle. It is clear and sunny outside, bright autumn. So far, this day, so good.

Happy 11,689th Day! I hope it is as fabulous as your 11,688th, and that you are gifted with thousands of days more that are full of magic, goodness, and love.

I swooned when I saw my first actual John Singer Sargent oil portrait!

I see that your 12,000th day will be on August 17, 2014. And that you will be 33 1/3rd on February 7th or 8th 2015, depending on how you wish to count. One third of a standard year is 121 & 2/3rd days, and 121 days after your 33rd birthday is 2/7/15, a Saturday, and 122 days after is 2/8/15. Great weekend to throw a 33 & 1/3rd Party! Let everyone bring vinyl for the turntable. A day and night and weekend to remember. Bless you!
