Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes!
Even my Google home page posted digital delights all day long - cake and cupcakes and macaroons. My Polar Heart Rate Monitor gave me a cake, complete with candles, which I have to say I find pretty funny. I mean, the whole point to the fitness monitor is to measure my fitness . . . and cake might interfere with that . . . Maybe it's saying that once a year is ok?

| Happy Birthday from my Heart Rate Monitor! |
Despite all the moving and shaking we've done, this is the first birthday since 2002 that KZog and I have not spent together. While in Florida, we celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the Lynryd Skynryd crash in Jacksonville, FL, by going to a Little Richard concert. In New York, we boated in Central Park and walked across the Brooklyn Bridge in between rounds at dive bars on the Lower East Side and gentrified fare in Union Square. Last year, I made my professional singing debut with HollowPoint at the Thirsty Parrot. While clacking away on the dissertation 8000 miles from home without even half a beer to celebrate surviving another year does not make the list of top ten ways to spend my birthday, at least I know that in two weeks I'll touch down in Houston to the biggest hug ever. No pity party for me here, as I finished a draft of Chapter 3 to a Led Zeppelin soundtrack and knit while watching season 5 of Fringe (finally!).
Today I
should go for my fingerprinting, the last piece of this bureaucratic puzzle that comprises the process of obtaining an RP and exit visa in Qatar. I admit to no breath-holding here, and I have imagined all sorts of elaborate contingency plans if needed. In the meantime I will occupy myself with Chapter 4 and preparing for a conference in November.
XO,
JZog
