¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Tonio Kruger!

Lupe Velez is wondering what she will get me for my birthday this year. I'd give her some suggestions, but alas, modesty forbids.

Anyway, I hope my loyal readers have had a good week in my absence. Please be sure to help yourselves to some cake today in my honor -- providing, of course, that you have no medical reasons that prevent you from doing so.
