"So,

da_lj, what are you doing for your birthday?"

Today? I've been working on php and apache. And oh! This evening I run a committee meeting! Woo!

But on Friday,

melted_snowball and I are meeting up in Toronto, for the "Cool Drummings" concert series. Friday evening we're seeing Minimalist Classics with works by Terry Riley, Steve Reich and John Cage. Performers include Patricia O'Callaghan, who I adore, and (this was surprising to learn just now) by Adrienne Clarkson, our former Governor General. And Saturday afternoon, Wired Percussion. My sweetie is awesome for finding out about these in time to get tickets. I'm looking forward to it!

Of all of the birthday greetings, probably my absolute favourite was a video-chat serenade by

lee_ellen and

flydi. I miss you guys! Not sure when we can get to Ithaca, but seeing you "live" was just super.
