According to Google, I remain at the top of the page for the phrase "Christmastime birthday". That's nice, and I am also strangely pleased that the little blurb that appears with the googled phrase is:
In fact, I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for the creator of "For Your Christmas Time Birthday" cards.
Although that sentiment is a bit extreme, it sort of captures the mood of how I used to feel about my birthday, which was seen as an inconvenience by some members of my family.
For a professor, though, it is a truly excellent time of year to have endless celebrations. The grades are in, the "I can't possibly have gotten a grade other than A" e-mails from students have subsided, and the next term is not looming too considerably large quite yet.
I will be traveling and relaxing and recreating and working intermittently on a proposal and some papers, will post an interesting but disturbing photo tomorrow, and otherwise will be back with the results of the Letter of Reference* contest in a week or so.

Happy birthday, FSP!
My Dad's birthday is Christmas Eve - he likes to make it especially challenging to buy birthday and holiday gifts in quick succession by not providing an adequate wish list...ever. Happy Birthday!
My emails from students about grades have been replaced by facebook friend requests from students. Hmmm...not sure with which I'd rather deal.
Happy birthday! Oooo.... curious about the photo.
Belated birthday wishes.
My birthday falls around Mother's Day; I get 1 present. Oh well....
There was a special xkcd comic, just for you...
