It was considerate of him, no?

It was my birthday yesterday; I am half-way between birth and ninety, 30 and 60, I am five years older than five years ago (this is meaningful, trust me).

Please, I am not saying this to glean birthday greetings. I just wanted to point out that Lenny Cohen came and played Helsinki to celebrate the occasion – and a damn fine job the lovely old dude did do, too.

I dressed for the occasion. It was the least I could do, I felt.
