So That Explains the Noise

Hey...

You.  Yeah, you...

Know what today is?  Besides Wednesday?  Besides the tenth day of November, 2010?

It's a birthday.  Gumbo hits the mid-forties mark today.

He isn't, I mean, I am not sure how I feel about that.  Better than the alternative, I know.  I am happy to have made it this far without maiming myself or others, and to have started growing into the person I think I was always was (whoever that is), but didn't know how to be.

It's Wednesday.  I'll get up, go to work, do my thing, then go to class.  Afterward, once I'm home,  I think I'll put my feet up and treat myself to a wee dram of Scotland's finest.  Simple may be best.

Will you join me?  It's better for the sharing.  Slainte, my friends!

    My husband's was yesterday and he entered the fourth decade. He's rather nonchalant about the whole thing. Me, I've having a kick-ass party next year.

    Happy birthday, my friend! I'd join you in a good single malt if the whole "recovering from surgery" thing weren't an issue. You'll just have to have mine - deal?

    Happy Birthday to you! A bit of the finest sounds perfectly appropriate. Like that happy brew, you will only get richer and more complex with age.

    Birthdays remind us of the air we have left to spend....and the need to do it wisely. You remind me of that so very often. Enjoy, remember, dream, and plan.

    I'm making beer, cheese, & sausage soup this weekend with guiness and chorizo....I'll send a wish for you.

    Stumbled over here from who knows where, and there's my sister up there, wishing you well.

    And I'm a little drunk.

    So. Happy Birthday To You!

    Hey man, Happy Belated Birthday. I am just now catching up on your writing. Too many classes, too much work on the boat makes for too little time.
