What better way to celebrate your birthday than to give! I bet you'll end up with beaucoup of presents and well wishes before the day is over. Let's see you'll be what 27, 28?
I'll go to the store and get a cake and eat it for you. I warn you though it will be fattening - double, triple quadruple intense heavenly devils food cake with equally wonderful icing and just for kicks some vanilla and strawberry ice cream. You understand I have to eat it for you because you'd have to wait to long for it to arrive and the ice cream will have melted by the time it got there.
Oh, if only one of Heinlein's portals where available. East Coast to West Coast in 10 minutes! Think I'll read Stranger in a Strange Land again for the 10th time. Although Lazarus Long is such a neat guy.
Hah-hah! Lazarus Long is a stinker! He has to have been the dark, curmudgeonly side of Heinlein.
Hmmm. I've only read Stranger about eight times, but I have both versions. Maybe it's time to read it again.
I tried to look something up in a Heinlein book once, and I realized I had forgotten so many other details, it was almost like a fresh read!
