So I've survived another trip around the sun

....this makes 46. Huh. The scenery doesn't change much.

Over very lovely Whole Foods mousse cake and Mexican (aka made with real sugar) Cokes yesterday afternoon, it was brought home rather forcefully* that we are hiring folks young enough to be my kids. If I had kids. Anyway, somehow someone mentioned the last time we had Real Snow (1984-ish), and I replied that I was in college at the time and had a great time sledding all over a local golf course. Then that person mentioned he was 4 or so at the time, and  saw our youngest member mouth "I wasn't born yet." Ah, well.

Anyway, I will be going out to dinner with my friends L & J, and tomorrow going to see Predators at the Alamo Drafthouse with the fam. That's after I hack a new path through the weedy jungle out behind my workshop. I am kind of tired of getting burs in my hair. Plus the vines are making a real assault on the back door.



* Even more forcefully than a couple of weeks ago, when I replied to something a co-worker said with, "Well, when I was 14 I couldn't imagine owning a cell phone." To which she replied, "Me either! Kids weren't allowed to have cell phones when I was a kid." (Heh. When I was 14, we barely had cable TV and blow dryers. Cell phones? Not even on the horizon.)

Hah, I'm two months younger than you!

Yeah, I remember when cable TV was the new exciting thing, and how wonderful VCRs were when they first came out.

But it can't be your birthday yet because it's right here on my calendar that your birthday is OMG HOW IS IT ALREADY JULY?!?!?!?!

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

When are you free for a celebratory lunch or dinner next week?
