Birthday haul

Nu We Toch Hier Zijn, by Barbara Stok. Looks like fun. (But jeepers, she needs to do something about her website – the writing is so small I can hardly read it.)

The House of Medici: Its Rise and Fall. Of course today is the anniversary of the Pazzi conspiracy in 1478.

It’s also the anniversary of the Chernobyl explosion (1986), the bombing of Guernica (1937) and of my birth (1967).

I had planned to do a whole web-page about people who share my exact date of birth, but that’ll have to be next year now. Meantime I shall commemorate my almost-colleague Amy Biehl, celebrate with Trish Doller, and ponder the lessons for us all from the horoscope of Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
