All the best with the move, LH. We'll try to behave ourselves till you're online again.
Congratulations!
Posted by Helen DeWitt at July 30, 2007 08:43 AMCongratulations, hat, and many many many thanks.
And best of luck with the move, I still get shivers thinking about mine from almost two years ago and the losses I suffered: Nöldeke's grammar of Syriac is still nowhere to be found...
Congrats on your demi-decade!
I would very much like to see pictures of the hats if you get a chance after the move.
Congratulations on your 5th and all the best on your move!
I'd love to see all your hats too.
Congratulations! When you get back maybe it's time for some more hat posts. Also maybe some jazz - I saw that very interesting Kowald post in the archive, but jazz doesn't seem to come up much here anymore.
Posted by vanya at July 30, 2007 09:38 AMCongratulations!
I've enjoyed this blog for about a year now, I think. Since I found it from LL.
I knew you were an entertaining and erudite man, but you've just shot up another nudge in my esteem by being owned by a cat.
Best of luck with the move.
Posted by Sili at July 30, 2007 10:00 AMCongratulations, and thanks!
Posted by Ran at July 30, 2007 10:05 AMMy message, written earlier just after Noetica's, has disappeared! It looks like it was never posted at all. Now I don't want to be too repetitious but could just about echo Sili (except for the cat - but that does not affect my esteem of you or Sili). Yours very faithfully, m-l

Hope to see you around again soon.
Posted by Gary at July 30, 2007 06:22 PMMeal do naidheachd, LH! You know, this blog is one of very few I read every day (thanks to Bloglines), even with the obscure stuff I either don't understand or have no interest in (me shoulda payed more atenshun in skool).
Good luck with the move! I'm looking forward to more posts very soon.
Posted by Jordan at July 30, 2007 08:50 PMCongrats on the anniversary!
Posted by The Ridger at July 30, 2007 09:45 PMEr... LH, "old" chap, is it possible to wish you “many happy returns”?
Posted by Siganus Sutor at July 30, 2007 10:55 PMCongratulations! (And I agree with vanya. More jazz!)

"Ooohhh.....I don't expect we'll be seeing Lngght again. Ooohhh nooo....noo. That's the last of him. Not til we follow him across the Styx, no."

Posted by Doc Rock at July 31, 2007 11:28 AMI'd love to see your hats. But only if you find the box they're in.
My commiserations on the move.

Posted by RavinDave at August 2, 2007 07:05 AMMany hands clapping around here. Congrats on your anniversary and on surviving the move, and thanks so much for being here, continuing to do what you do so well!
Posted by beth at August 2, 2007 08:14 PMCongratulations! As we say in Yiddish,
מיט מזל געיערט זיך
yearify yourself with fortune.
Congrats on 5 years and your move! Western Mass is so beautiful!
