A very happy birthday to me

My family loves me. They buys me some books.

I got “My Life for Yours: A Walk Through the Christian Home” by Douglas Wilson from my sister.

My dear wife got me the following books:

• “The Geography of Nowhere: The Rise and Decline of America’s Man-Made Landscape”
• “Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream”
• “The Great Good Place: Cafes, Coffee Shops, Bookstores, Bars, Hair Salons, and Other Hangouts at the Heart of a Community”
• “Celebrating the Third Place: Inspiring Stories About the ‘Great Good Places’ at the Heart of Our Communities”

And then, with cash from my mom and my dad, I bought … another book! Yes, it’s “City Comforts: How To Build an Urban Village,” which I blogged about earlier. (Only one copy so far, David.)

So that’s six books on one birthday. Pretty sweet.

Plus! My dear children pooled their money and bought a typeface for me for that new project of mine: Corpa Gothic Light.

Thanks for being so thoughtful, everyone.
