Crazy Happy Birthday!

It just goes to show you never know.  I was planning on a really low key birthday full of meetings and rehearsal and maybe squeezing in a trip to the pool this afternoon.

I should have known better.  I woke up to an Instalanche here, and when I walked into my class, I found this:

On the White Board

My students conspired against me!

What's more, they got me a card and TWO cakes.  And they sang Happy Birthday twice.  I was floored.  I hope they don't think this is going to raise their grades....

Here's the Chocolate Oreo Cake:

and the Fruit Tart:

What a great birthday morning!

2 Society has it all backwards. We make big deals out of children's birthdays, when really it's the adults who deserve a celebration. I've managed to cheat death for 40 years. A child turning 4 has nothing on me Hope your day continues to be wonderful.

16 Happy late b'day, Cal tech girl. I'm late because I was celebrating 11/10 with my wife and the Marine Corps at MAS Yuma. My grandson is stationed there, and had a four day weekend. Fun.
