Perhaps I'll make it.

Plans change. I'm at a cousin's near the airport now, rather than down by Lake Anna (it's not 6 hours away, unless there's a concert clogging the freeway.)

I thought I'd go visit a friend, and was able to look up his address, and discovered that his birthday is today. He won't be celebrating it here, but I'm raising a glass to him right now. Give the transit situation and me not having a car, I won't be able to make it down, but he was born 7^2 years ago today.

Happy Birthday, Michael-San.
