Yeah, I have one of those cool birthdates… The last one was 6/7/89 and next one is 1/2/03. Today I am indeed 35. birthdays are never really a huge problem for me. For some, they mark the inexorable passage of time. Like mile markers… counting the miles all the way to the “exit” (okay that’s bad, I admit). For the last couple, I just get a little moody and pissy… then I cheer up when its over. Now, I look at my birthday as a chance to party and hang with my wife, kids and friends.
My wife thought it was very sad that I never had an actual birthday party. There must’ve been one while I was in San Diego with my mother and grandmother, cause there are pics. But, I was too young to remember it. I was 2 (1969!). Anywy, my first b-day party was given to me by her. She had Mordred come, a couple of other friends and her parents and grand parents. It was great, the best b-day I can remember. I was… what… 28?
Anyway, to everyone who dropped me an e-card, a small note, and wished me well today. Thanks very much. I must be doing okay, cause there were a lot.
