Happy birthday, Anders! I'm going to multitask like a man possessed in your honor.

What’s an ideal birthday like for you?

Unless I’m in some beach paradise fantasy, with the winning lottery ticket in my hand, and a master chef cooking my food: healthy, a Saturday with my family, eating at a top lunch place (right now I’m picturing cheeses, cured meats, home made marmalade, fresh bread, butter, quality beer, and a soda). Nice walk in the city on a sunny day. Evening at home with my wife, daughter happily sleeping in the bedroom. We’ll probably watch a good movie.

Today both my daughter and I have a cold, and my wife had a work day. We skipped the lunch date to next Saturday. Not an ideal day, but my wife has just come home, and I ordered some delicious enchiladas. Just finished eating, and my daughter will go to sleep soon. Also the Premier League team I support won, which helps any day.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Sounds like you're making the best of the situation

Indeed. Just hope this cold goes away fast. Working from home today.

Beer and soda at the same time?! Gluttony!

Well, it’s for my birthday. I guess I could do water instead of the soda, but wine/beer with food, without any water or a substitue, feels a bit off for me. Normally I would eat without alcohol, especially with a child present, but I think one beer for my birthday is ok.

Palace played well.

Thought they started quite poor in the first 20-25 minutes, then got some momentum, making the 1-1 score at half time feel fair. The second was much better, with some great periods. Second goal was lovely. Very happy with the three points.
