On Sunday, Sept. 23, I'm going to turn 53. While that in itself is not exactly a cause for rejoicing, I am glad to be here, and to have life and love, and that's what a birthday celebration's really all about, right?
But this year I want to do something super-simple. We had considered having an afternoon gathering at the house, featuring a song circle. I finally have the braille version of *Rise Up Singing* on the computer, and after all the years in which I wasn't able to participate in song circles, I thought that would be a good birthday celebration. And it would have been. But as the time approached, I felt some inner resistance to planning a gathering at the house. We've already done several social gatherings here this year, and even if it would be mainly a song circle, it would still be a party, and involve planning and preparing food, etc. And I just wasn't in the right head space. So that will likely happen next year.
This year, I just want to meet a bunch of people at Tavern in the Square, in Porter Square, for brunch. I've heard good things about the brunch, and I've wanted to try it. I'll need a head count a few days beforehand so I can make a reservation. I'm thinking about one PM.
Will you come?
