I'm divisible again! By 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. That's pretty cool.

My horoscope from free will astrology:
Due to the gravitational pull of the Moon, the Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down. A billion years ago, a day lasted only 18 hours. In about 14 million years, it will be 48 hours long. Imagine how much more you'll be able to accomplish in your future incarnations with all that extra time. By then, I'm sure someone will have also invented a pill that reduces the amount of sleep you need, further boosting your capacity to get things done. In 2008, I predict you will be blessed with a foreshadowing of that glorious period 14 million years from now. You will work smarter and do things more efficiently and engage in less wasted motion and maintain a crisper to-do list. Because of that, time will seem to expand for you.

More Time would certainly be a wonderful present.

I'll save less thrilling news for another post. Instead, I will post the recipe for my favorite birthday cake as a present for all of you:

1 package Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers.
2 cups whipping cream.
1 tsp sugar, confectioner’s is better.
1 tsp vanilla.

Whip the cream, adding the sugar and vanilla after it begins to thicken. Take a chocolate wafer and spread whipped cream on the flat side. Take a second wafer, spread whipped cream on the flat side, and stack it on top of the first one. Make about five stacks of 8-10 wafers each, sandwiched with whipped cream, on a long rectangular platter or a regular plate. Flip the stacks horizontally and join them, forming a long cylinder of wafers and cream. Cover the outside of the cylinder completely with more whipped cream. Take a last wafer, break it in half, and rub the broken edges against each
other above the cake, creating a small pattern of brown cookie crumbs on top of the cake.
Refrigerate the cake for at least four hours so that the wafers can absorb the cream and become cake-like. Upon serving, cut the cake on a diagonal angle to the right, starting at the left side. Assume that everyone will want seconds.
