Happy birthday, Ted Kennedy!

On an unrelated note, why do none of my friends' updated pages past Feb. 5 appear on my "friends" page?

I've been updating since Feb. 5, I swear? Or do you mean the other way, before 2/5?

Anyways, looks like I'll be coming to Austin in Aug. for Mo's wedding. Got a spare couch? I owe you a proper e-mail, obvs.

I know you have been-- but it wasn't showing up on my friends page. It's there now. Very strange.

I'd love to have you stay with me, if you don't mind a one-room apt. by which I mean literally one room. Let me know details. August is when we're thinking of going to Scotland, but no tickets yet, so I can plan around your visit.

The wedding's 8/13. Don't plan your vacation around me, tho. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Do let me know, though.

BTW, I'm finding lots of nasty & funny comments about EMK from Nixon & Co. in the Nixon Papers, when it looked like EMK was a contender for the Dem nomination in '72. How old is Teddy, anyway?

[raisa_maximovna]

He's like 73. Can you believe it?

By the way, just to prove that the universe is ordered rationally and does not in fact tend towards chaos, it's also Bill Frist's birthday. How fabulous is that?

[swilkesse]

More fabulous than the fact that I share a birthday with Bobby Fischer, that's for sure. Damn.

You DO? YOU DO? More proof that the universe works in patterns! Kennedy/Frist, Khrushchev/J.P. Morgan, and Fischer/Swilkes! My dad shares a birthday with Lenin. I don't know what that means. My pattern sort of breaks down there.

My friends page went back to sucking, by the way. Feb. 5th but not beyond. Damn LJ!
