on a lighter note...
Sep. 3rd, 2003 07:07 pmMy birthday is later this month, and I get to watch the digits turn over. Ooh, nice round number... sounds like an excuse for a party. :-)
The birthday itself is on a weeknight, with the bounding weekends being a large local SCA event (Coronation) and Rosh Hashana (major holiday), so I've given up on any notion of proximity to the actual date. I won't hold the party on Shabbat (among things, I want to be able to serve hot food), which means the longer I wait the more feasible Saturday nights are. (Certainly come the time change all such issues vanish.) I'm not averse to Sunday afternoons, but I get the impression that some of my friends find this suboptimal.
So, a poll. (Please use comments to express actual preferences.)

If you'd like a birthday cake, let me know :-)

Date: 2003-09-04 08:25 am (UTC)Thanks for the reminder. (Is there a web site that gives dates for all the fast days in any given year? There are others besides this, right?)
A Saturday party wouldn't start until after sunset, FYI.
