funny things

Piffin's friend Buni drew this lovely birthday card. And gave me permission to blog it. I believe it is her self portrait. Wearing a funny costume. It was a beautiful birthday, on a beautiful day. Piffin made her own birthday cake, a lemon and lime cheese cake. Only in stead of some zest, she put in a whole rind :-x Funny things happened today, birthday or not. I was happy to have mailed all of the tax shit to our accountant, and a tax notice flies in through the mail slot. A Dutch one! We don't pay taxes in Holland! Water Board District Tax, Holland is a country below sea level. According to the letter we are the owners of my father-in-law's house, he was very surprised to hear that. How in the hell the Water Board got hold of our address in Canada is a mystery. Every single day enough shit happens to get all worked up. Michiel had a bad day at work, he said. It had gotten so bad that he just couldn't take it anymore, he said. And what did you do? I went outside... and I ate... an apple. Wonderful stress management. Almost as wonderful as the big black guy I saw sitting in his car singing along with this Abba song, the whole street vibrated. Is it racist to think it's funny that a big black guy would sing an Abba song?
