Having a quiet birthday - you know, I can't think of the last birthday I had that wasn't quiet?

I've got a present from my mother to unwrap when I get home - I think I know what it is, which is just fine because it's something I've said is nice to get every year.

Irene got me a dragon pen cup several weeks ago, and insisted on giving it to me as soon as the nice delivery man dropped it off.

Katie gave me a doggy Christmas tree ornament.

My brother's and his family gave me a collection of Figi's nuts.

I'll be headed home shortly for dinner and relaxing - Irene picked up a whole Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme pie from Baker's Square, and I'm wondering how long it's going to last?

For anyone who is interested, Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold is out at fictionwise.com. There's an opening day special good through 7AM Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday, 16 December 2003. If you miss that, I can provide a coupon good for 10% the net price (this is in addition to any other specials that may be affecting its price). This means all of the Vorkosiverse books are available as e-books now!

It's one of their Multi-Format e-books - all unencrypted, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Reader, Palm Doc, Rocketbook, Isilo, Mobipocket, Hiebook, and Franklin Ebookman. I have instructions for converting Hiebook (AKA KML) to HTML if you're interested.
