If you lived in Germany, it would be your birthday right now!
I flipped my homepage early (before going to bed) in order to be the first ETPer to be able to congratulate Sheila on her birthday – on the correct day!
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! – Happy Birthday, Sheila!
Birthdays
Thanks to everybody who wished me a happy birthday:
André, Imke, Gabi (via Email), Sheila (twice), Brent, Al, Jörg, Martin (Who’s the lady? 
), Dave, Duncan (friday), Frauke (Thanks for the flowers!), Garret, David, Susan (She picked nice pictures, too!), John, Jeff, John (who would have liked to eat Bienenstich with me) – and everybody who called on the phone!
BookNotes
Seems like I don’t need to post an update at BookNotes today, since Craig posted something while in Prague.
He also dropped in to my weblog!

Hello Andrea!
Thank you for the birthday wishes! It’s still one hour from my birthday here in Seattle, but it’s great to know I’m already being congratulated in Germany! :-)
By the way, I hear the same congratulations (Happy Birthday) are in order for you! Wow! Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! A great day for a birthday, if you ask me!
I hope you have a wonderful day. Enjoy!
Sheila
Noch ist es nicht zu spät
:
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!

Hi Andrea and readers of Andrea’s Weblog. Nothing much to say but hello and extend my thanks to Andrea for helping out with BookNotes. It sure was nice to meet you!
Bye for now.
Ich wünsche Dir alles, was Du Dir selbst auch wünschen würdest ;)
[muß ich das jetzt auch noch auf Englisch?;)]
Happy Birthday, Andrea!

Hee! There’s a nice, bilingual way to wish you a Fröhe Birthday, oops, I mean a Happy Geburtstag!
Susan
Happy Birthday Andrea! If I were in Germany, I’d get some Bienenstück to celebrate!
John
Thanks John!
How did you know I just love Bienenstich (that’s bee’s sting – ouch!)
However, we only had chocolate cake today, but that’s okay. I baked it myself, and Bienenstich would have been much more complicated to make.
