it's a jolly holiday

A happy 321st birthday to J.S. Bach!

(and yes, that is Bach and not
Handel)

Also, today in Spanish class Prof. Cucurny told us about a Cataluñan tradition for April 23, la fiesta de Sant Jordi (St. George):
el dĂ­a del libro y la rosa, que en 1995 fue instituido por UNESCO como el DĂ­a Mundial del Libro y de los Derechos de Autor.

This sounds like my kind of holiday. On that day, lovers (and, I hope, other people too) exchange a rose and a book.

Fancy that -- a rose and a book all in one day.


Could it get any better than that?
