As I got in too late to celebrate yesterday, tonight we had steak, wine, and a small birthday cake. It turned out to be the perfect event for the Fossil Historian with lots of mountain books as presents: a comprehensive Himalayan climbing history, a reprint of Norman Collie's 1895 classic ( "From the Himalaya to Skye), a bit of philosophy ("The Wild Places" and "Skiing Zen") as well as many climbing and skiing murder mysteries (From "Aspen Pulp" to "Dead Men Don't Ski").
