Yes, today is M. Simon's birthday, and I won't say which one as it just sounds too spooky (especially being that his birthday always falls on October13th, which looks Halloweenishly inverted). And I don't want to get into numerology here. One superstition at a time.

For this this special occasion, I decided to do something I hardly ever do, which was to make a YouTube video instead of writing a blog post. After consulting a very worthy and time-tested astrological text, I learned things about my co-blogger which I was at first hesitant to share, because they seem so personal in nature -- if not invasive of privacy. But the reason I decided to share them is because anyone else could have learned the same thing, armed with nothing more than his date of birth. So the more I thought it over, the more it seemed to me that it was my duty to share it with the world.

Happy Birthday!

If the video won't yet stream at this site, it's because it's still being processed.
