A musical treat for my birthday
The Beatles (or at least 1/4 of them - Paul McCartney):
The Simpsons (and the late Michael Jackson)
Stevie Wonder
And finally, since 44 is a multiple of 11, it is really my 40th birthday, just "One Louder". Thanks Spinal Tap.
David Sedley's Thoughts and Musings (and some audio shiurim too)

Scary phone message
I just received possibly one of the most scary phone messages ever. By bank manager left a voice message (and just when I was about to panic that we were over our limit and they were going to cancel our credit card and take all the children as collateral*) to wish me a 'Happy Birthday!' (though he said it in Hebrew). AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHH! Don't do that to me without a warning first - please!
Someone has just found me the ideal present, The Pessimist's Mug. It's not that I don't think that things are great, but I just feel that a little bit of depression every now and then serves as a great antidote to all this happiness about.
Have a look at the mugs they sell as well. They are hysterical.
Also from the same website, a book that nobody can afford to be without!
The Art of Demotivation. Make sure you read what it says about the chairman's edition (as a vegetarian I especially like the footnote)
And finally, chaptzem has worked out how to tame Mordechai Ben David. Click here to make him say what YOU want! Now if I can only find the 'off' button.
Have a great Monday. If you live outside of Israel, welcome to the beginning of the week.
*If he promises to treat them well I would quite happily give the bank manager a few of my kids on loan if that would secure my overdraft. They need extra attention between 3 and 7pm, and lots of cornflakes, but apart from that they are good value for money.

Eeyores' birthday
It was my birthday today. Both my Hebrew one and my English one, and since you know that the two only line up every 19 years, you know how old I am (clue - I am not 57 or 76, nor 19 - figure it out yourself).
And it was a wonderful birthday. Quite like Eeyore's birthday actually:
But unlike Eeyore I got some excellent presents (from my wonderful mother-in-law) - 4 pairs of Winnie the Pooh socks, which as you know was something I really wanted.
Thank you Savta!
(The actual socks were much nicer than the ones in this picture, but it was the only picture I could find)
And it was a wonderful birthday. Quite like Eeyore's birthday actually:
"Many happy returns of the day," said Piglet again.
"Meaning me?"
"Of course, Eeyore."
"My birthday?"
"Yes."
"Me having a real birthday?"
"Yes, Eeyore, and I've brought you a present."
