Silly Site o' the Day

Sorry about the absence since the blogaround. I'd planned to take it easy, watch Rodriguez hit his 500th home run, maybe run a couple errands before the heat got too unbearable -- then Robin woke up and said, "Say, when was that birthday party for Mike Gold supposed to be?" And I shuffled through my mess of papers that I was planning (among other things) to organize this coming week, and found the invite, and lo and behold we both suddenly realized it was today, about two hours after Robin's query. Long and short, we showered and dressed and got our card and presents together and programmed the GPS and were there within five minutes of the planned start time. Not bad considering! Great fun, great friends, photos to follow, probably tomorrow. Oh, and the wonderful BBQ joint had the Yankees game on so we saw number 500 after all. This one's for you, Mike: the birthday paradox Wiki, via Laura. Note that 57 is the magic number here. For some reason that kept coming up today...
