Pete,
I don’t understand your response. If Mark had neglected to post this, I would have failed to wish you “Happy Anniversary!”

Cynthia,
No, no. It’s my Bar Mitzvah. Baruch ‘attah adonoi elohenu, etc., etc., which is Hebrew for, where are my presents?

Pete,
I should have known–anything associated with “bar”. As to

German beer?

Pete: Now that you’ve been Bar Mitzvahed, should we expect your voice to change soon? There go your aspirations to solo with the Vienna Boy’s Choir!
