In JD Salinger's "Raise High the Roof Beams, Carpenter", Seymour Glass confesses to being a reverse paranoic. He says, "I suspect people of plotting to make me happy."
That's the kind of day I had yesterday. Magical and perfect.
It included:
Innumerable birthday wishes from far and wide.
A lovely card and gift certificate from my co-workers.
A wonderful dinner with incredibly thoughtful presents from my BFF. (Not many people would know how much I'd appreciate audio CDs of Richard Gere reading "The Tibetan Book of the Dead". That's what best friends are for.)
A trip to Stephen's Happy Place -- Holt Renfrew -- for the unveiling of the Christmas windows...and a concert on Bloor Street by Aretha Franklin!
A great movie -- American Gangster.
Running into Jude Law in the lobby of the Manulife, after the movie.
A personal movie made about and for me, by my home girl, Barb.
And you know what the best thing is? It's continuing tonight. My great friend of Chicago hyper-planning fame is in town tonight and taking me to Susur Lee's new restaurant. It's going to be great!
Feeling very grateful today.

Jude Law - seriously - Jude law...now that is unexpected birthday magic right there!
Sounds like a great birthday to me. I love those unexpected concerts on Bloor - I caught a few during the film fest. And thank you for your ticket for tonight - we'll only think about you - and plastic surgeons in South America.
