  1. I’ll raise a glass to Paul Sorvino, whom I thank for having produced such a lovely, Chinese-fluent daughter. (She was in my favorite episode of “House,” too.)

    Is it your birthday as well? If so, then Happy Birthday!

  3. I’m not so sure that ‘Bomber’ Harris is deserving of greetings, and whilst Samuel Beckett did not actually bomb anyone to death he came close to boring me to death on a couple of occasions!
