Cranky Large Medium reading, 1 April

Come on in.

Make yourself at home. Glad to see you could make it here, today! You folks just don't come around here often enough, you know. So, is this a pleasant social call, or what? What? Dang, and here I'd put a cake in the oven and pulled out my 32-year-old Scotch, just for you... Well, then, since I can't offer you all the niceties of life, what can I offer you? Oh, you're just here for the business of getting a reading, then. Sigh. If that's all, here you go:

You're brilliant, charming, lovely, and will live happily ever after. Of course you do realize that today is not only your birthday, but April Fool's Day, so your real reading is somewhat different In fact, you make big plans, but have serious problems with follow-through; you're not a bad puppet-master, though, manipulating people from behind the scenes. Your ambitious nature makes you sacrifice nearly everybody close to you. Think about that when you make your plans for a happy homelife.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. It's that time of year when everybody's a fool. At least you're still kicking, as opposed to these people, all of whom, on this date in history, were planted in fallow fields: Emperor Shenzong, Niwa Nagashige, Charles R. Drew, Lev Davidovich Landau, St-Hugues, Franz Egon of Fürstenberg, Frederick Maurice, Cristofano Allori, Max Ernst, Robert Doisneau, Lucy Rie, Martha Graham, Francisco de Peñalosa, Scott Joplin, Cosima Wagner, Nigel Preston, Jack Keller, Noah Beery, Jim Jordan, Gene Evans, Barbara Luddy, Carrie Snodgress, Rube Waddell, John McSherry, Jo-Jo Moore, Herb Carneal, Benjamin Pierce, Helena Rubinstein,

and Marvin Gaye.

I heard it through the grape wine. Gotta cut back.
Happy birthday, anyway.
