UPDATE ALREADY: Lunchtime. Old dude at the table next to me looked almost exactly like my former M.A. adviser. And he wanted to talk. And I knew I was in trouble when, within the first three minutes, the phrase "Jesus was Basque" entered the conversation. At that point, I knew it was only a matter of time before we got to the Templars.** I have never eaten a salad so quickly in my life.
**We did, however, manage to get to the Essenes, the Cathars, Charlemagne, and how American Jews financed WWII before I was able to pay the check and get the hell out of there.

Happy Birthday! (Glad you finally escaped the crazy guy!)
w00t!
Doesn't sound like the usual pickup line. But oh, so boring!
WV=croun Do you get to wear a croun for your birthday?
Many happy returns! (And, lawks. Essenes! That's going some.)
Did you know that the Basques came to North America before other Europeans? There's a whole bunch of Quebeckers who believe this and who have assembled an impressive dossier of historical evidence. . .
Happy Birthday! As my father always says, "Older or Colder!"
I'm reminded of a line from the movie "A Knight's Tale": "Well, he may be French but Jesus was English! You're on!" Imagine the arguments if your old guy had been in that bar.
Many happy returns.
Happy birthday!;) Have a great adventure!
