¡Feliz cumpleaños Joan!

Thursday, April 20th, 2006, at far too late an hour

I suppose I should be saying that in Catalan (perhaps someone will give me a pointer…I think it’s: feliç aniversari). Why? Because today is Catalan surrealist painter and sculptor Joan Miró’s “eleventy-third” birthday. He truly had molts anys, since he was born in 1893 (where else but in Barcelona?) and died in 1983.

If you’re ever in Barcelona and want to know more, go up Montjuïc and have a walk through the Fundació Miró.
