Birthday greetings go to...

...Little Marathon Pundit. In front of her, and this is no joke, is Dr. Valdis Zatlers, the President of Latvia--he's planting an oak tree as part of a ceremony.

Mrs. and Little Marathon Pundit spent most of July in Latvia. It's difficult for me to get away from work for so long, so I stayed here in the States.

Zatlers was sworn in as president of the Baltic nation a few months ago. The head of state was in Sece for a song festival. Sece, a very small town in the Zamgale region that normally doesn't host song festivals or presidents, is Mrs. Marathon Pundit's hometown.

Happy Birthday, Little Marathon Pundit.
