He's A Healthy One-hundred And Twelve, Because He Is Eternal
Figures that I would forget the birthday of the Godfather of crime fiction and noir.

As pennance, I will walk around the block wearing nothing but that the hat that Hammett wore in the trailer for "The Thin Man" and I will flog my back with this

Take for yourself a tour downtown on Bush Street just before the Stockton Street tunnel to Burritt Place; there you'll find a significant location of Hammett lore, and a plaque on the apartment building there to show for it. (After all, across the road is the tiny street named, of all things, Dashiell Hammett.)
I drive by Burrit Alley almost everyday on the way to work, depending on my work location for that night. It's real interesting to compare the present day settings with the Stockton Tunnel and the garage, versus the film and book versions of "The Maltese Falcon."
I've even seen the plaque, but somehow something comes up and I don't get to do this

This year for certain, though...
