Dang it, I didn’t get any invitations.

I noticed the date last night before going to bed and realized that it was the anniversary both of the day Rome made peace with the Vandals and of the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia. (OK, I actually only knew it was the first one; I found out the second when I checked one of those day in history sites. It also, by the by, was the day that Charles I, in 1628, called his third Parliament, and then, in 1647, was deposed and, in 1649, beheaded.)

Anyway, I expected there to be parties — to be singing and dancing. Why wasn’t I invited?
