on a lighter note...

My 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.)

Any of those dates work for us, AFAIK. We are out of town the weekend of October 17, but that isn't a date you mention, so I'm guessing it's a non-issue.

If you'd like a Gentile servant (for free!) to do anything during the day on Saturday, just let me know :-)

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

Thanks for the offers!

Ooh, did you say cake? I would be foolish indeed to turn down a dessert contribution from you. Thanks! You're on. :-)
