Officially Fifty!
Well today is the day! Fifty years ago in a humble ghetto in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, a lovechild was born to a lower middle class couple; A smallish child too,at 6lbs 7oz.
My how I've grown!

So far so good today. I was picked up 2 blocks from my bus stop by a woman who works in my building. And she definitely flirted with me the entire short trip. When I got to my office, I found streamers all over my cube, with "Happy Birthday" written all over. I smiled big when I saw that, and thanked the usual suspect who I know do that kind of decorating. So many people have wished me happy birthday so far; not only in my office, but in the building as well. Sheesh! I feel like a rock star.
Last night, T gave me two gifts from her. I told her that she had already done too much, but she insisted. First was a book on August Wilson, my favorite playwright who just happened to live in my old neighborhood in Pittsburgh, and a beautiful silver dress watch. It looks like a million bucks! I am usually the one who goes over the top as far as gifts are concerned, but for some reason she stepped out of character. I almost cried.
Later tonight per our tradition, T is taking me out to my favorite restaurant for sushi and iced cold "ogre killer" sake. I cannot wait!
I am truly a blessed man!
