Birthday
I've knocked off work early today since it's my birthday, and I was in a good place in the current manuscript to stop. Earlier, had an excellent lunch and birthday cake, finished with some fine presents: clothes, CDs, DVDs, a pair of binoculars (for some reason, I've always liked binoculars), and three books: BITTER STEEL, the new collection by Charles Gramlich; THE COMPLETE KI-GOR, VOLUME 1, the first six Ki-Gor novels from the pulp JUNGLE STORIES; and THE BLACK BAT OMNIBUS, VOLUME 1, the first three Black Bat novels from BLACK BOOK DETECTIVE. Great stuff, all around, and a day like today reminds me how lucky I am to have such a great family. Topped off with a multitude of birthday wishes from friends, and it's been a fine day. Thanks to one and all. Now to read some Black Bat.
Happy B-Day! How old did you say?
ReplyDeleteSome fine reading you have there.
I'm somewhere between codger and geezer.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you--it's a good month for such things (mine's in a few days)!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Matt
Sounds like a good age.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you, James. Sounds like a great party and gifts.
ReplyDeleteGreat gifts, and a good way to spend the day. Many more birthdays to come, I hope.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday. Interestingly, I have my dad's old 1950s era binoculars complete with case. Not as good as modern ones but nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday indeed. Sounds like a pretty relaxing day. Whoever gave you a copy of Bitter Steel must surely have great taste! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you pocketed some mighty fine swag.
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day!
Happy birthday, James!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and hopes you have many more!
ReplyDeleteHappy (a few days belated) birthday! I hope you celebrated to the nth degree. May this next year of life be your very best yet.
