Kathy has instructed me to take March 6 and 7 off from work, and hinted that it has something to do with my birthday, which is on the 10th. (I was due to be born on St. Patrick’s day, but was a week early, for probably the only time in my first two decades of life.) She has also been hitting the web rather heavily and insisting that I not look at the browser history afterwards. Today she was talking with another friend of hers on the phone, and when I came in to get a drink, furtively slunk into another room, later mentioning that it had to do with birthday goings-on as well.

My curiosity is piqued!
