This was a pretty low-key birthday. My mother and father called to say “Happy, Birthday!” And my brother sent me an email. My girlfriend gave me a very nice card, and she and her mother and aunt tricked me into walking upstairs (thinking I had to adjust this contankerous florescent light) when they surprised me with a cake! Candles and everything! [Obvsiously not 36 candles, the poor woman had to hold it and between her frail arms and setting the curtains on fire - a few candles were more then enough.]

I’m sure I’ll go out and have a drink with the Dunning’s and with my Brother when I get to Michigan next week. Over all, it was a good – low key – way to mark another year earned.

Interestingly enough, several big events are conspriring to sync up this week. Not only have I just turned 36, but I’ve initiated another home ReFi, the office is being moved into a new (larger, nicer) space, and I have my trip to Michigan. I love how weeks and weeks can go by without anything new or interesting happening … then they all decide to happen at once!

It keeps me on my toes.
