The birthday boy survived another solar orbit, thanks in no small part to Caro's tender ministrations. Debbie dropped in for a while this afternoon and brought a delicious cake. We toasted with Martinelli sparkling cider. (The Acetaminophen has really put the brakes on drinking wine.) Got a bunch of lovely gifts: a couple books, a French rolling pin, a Norfolk Island pine planted as a kokedama, a set of hand-cut travel combs, a pair of spherical "ice cube" molds. Cards and good Facebook wishes have poured in.

All in all, a great day except that I'm recovering from Thursday's surgery. Caro has been spoiling me since I'm limited in what I can lift. So far there's been very little discomfort, so I've stopped the Tylenol today, but I'm keeping up with the Ibuprofen and other Rx's. Last night I slept particularly well, so that's a move in the right direction.
I learned this afternoon that Theresa Crimmins, Director of the USA-NPN, will be speaking at the Botanic Garden on the morning of the 12th. Judith Phillips has made arrangements for us to give her a tour of the Cottonwood Gallery afterwards. Looking forward to hearing her talk and then engaging with her out at our observation sites.
