July 7, 2007, is the 100th birthday of Robert Heinlein.
Heinlein wrote some very good books, and some very terrible books that I prefer not to think about. He's best known for Stranger in a Strange Land, but wrote a vast number of other books. I like to think that I did a little bit for his sales last week when I told someone, all smiles, "Yeah, he wrote Stranger in a Strange Land, but he also wrote all these fantastic books full of incest!"
Ayup. It's no wonder I have a bad reputation.
It is also, by a happy coincidence, the 35th birthday of my precious Ethel.
(NB. I don't live there anymore. But when I did, everything was pleasantly colour-coordinated).
Oh, yeah - and my best friend Em's 24th birthday. But mostly Ethel's birthday.
