Happy Birthday, Charley!

I'm a day late, but it's well-meant...

Well-wishers in Great Britain and elsewhere celebrated the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth yesterday, with parties and services and all sorts of pomp and circumstance.

Which, being a private man, he would have absolutely hated. 


Happy Birthday, Mr. Dickens. You and your books changed my life.
