Marty, I know how you feel! We managed to celebrate my birthday, after a 
fashion, at our local chamber of commerce annual dinner the night before 
my birthday last weekend, but I came down with a terrible throat and 
chest cold there, which's just now has improved enough that I can be out 
in public without people looking at me like I'm Typhoid Mary. But after 
35 years of winter birthday celebrations, I've never been sick like this 
in tandem with my birthday (akthough last year I did come down with a 
stomach bug two weeks after, which colminated with my taking the 
long-form gestational diabetes test - much more fun giving my daughter a 
smidge of my birthday cake this year!).
