Topic of the week
Pick one of these, or talk about something else:
1) Do you have particular birthday traditions? Any you'd like to share?

2) Music you'd recommend I check out? (My tastes are mostly folk, modern folk, filk, but I am open to listening to other intriguing things.)

What I've been up to
Moving websites to a new host (which is only partly done, but I'm getting there.)

My excitement for the week is that I'm going to see Hamilton tonight, because the touring company just arrived in Boston. I am very excited.

My birthday is close to Christmas and I absolutely recognize this experience. If it weren't for my parents (who I'm almost always around as I have to visit them for Christmas), I don't think I'd admit to having a birthday at all.

Yeah. I have a friend whose birthday is in that zone, and he said that there were always the people that wanted to combine birthday and Christmas gifts together into a single thing, which I found terrible as a child (and I'm not to find of as a more grown up child.)

Yep, people pulled that shit on two of my sisters (early December birthdays) and me (mid-Jan). Frustrating! Except occasionally when I got something that cost more than one occasion's worth of gift budget but less than two.
