Happy belated birthday.

Catching up on some of my regular podcasts today—one being The Writer’s Almanac—and realised that Friday April 13th, the day I left Nashville (a very lucky Friday the 13th indeed), was the shared birthday of three of my favorite writers.

Kind of the opposite of that thing when three famous people die on the same day.

Seamus Heaney, Eudora Welty, and Samuel Beckett...a belated Happy Birthday to you all.
