FMD: THR’s Bday.

It's THR's birthday today. He had another surgery on his knee yesterday, this one of the "no-cutting" type where he was put under and then had his knee forced. There was a risk of a torn tendon or broken femur, but it sounds like he was pleased with the results.

I've forgotten his birthday so many times in the last 15 years, as it's three days after my anniversary. This year, I remembered and got the card in the mail on Tuesday. Last night, I found it still in the mailbox, shoved into the back by the two days' mail. Crap.

More on theme, Steve Reich's Drumming is pretty good, even if it lags when it shifts into a Music for 18 Musicians feel in part 3. Also, they could have fit "Clapping Music" onto the disc.
