Forty & Fabulous
Our favorite high school photo, for the invite for Alev and my 40th birthday bash, to be celebrated in the city on July 9th. If you know me and I accidentally forgot to send you an Evite for this party (probably just a typo in your email address, I swear!) and you want to attend, drop me a line.

The View From the Fourth Floor
So, you ask, how does it feel to be 40? Less hung over than it should by all rights, thanks to Chaser. Thanks also to László Jakab Orsós, new director of the New York Hungarian Cultural Center (which sorely needs a better web site), for hosting a great party last night on the penthouse terrace of his Battery Park City apartment overlooking the Statue of Liberty and allowing me to unwittingly usurp it as my unscheduled birthday party.
Sorry about leaving you the cleanup after the water balloon fight. Props to Aron for outputting some funky compressed audio algorithms, as per usual. Gratitude also to all last night’s beautiful people for helping me make the decade hop as gracefully as possible (who thought to bring Champagne?). Incalculable love to my most lovely wife for so much of everything. And special thanks to Masha K. in SF for providing great perspective, a highly valued gift.
So how does it feel? Better than the alternative.

Chimes Ginger Chews
Mmmm, ginger chews. Yummy and pretty. Product of Indonesia. Beautiful metal box, good for holding pencils afterwards. If you’ve ever had chewy ginger candies from an Asian products store, they’re like that, but they come in additional flavors: original (pure ginger, I guess), peppermint-ginger (haven’t tried it yet) and peanut butter-ginger, which is surprisingly good.
