No, I was thinking it would perhaps be the worst birthday. Unmemorable, maybe, but not worst. Maybe it's the Margarita Swirl talking, but...
I have to confess how touched I was with all the people who greeted me via Facebook today. It made me miss all of you guys more, really. In the Mexican restaurant, Casa Margarita, the walls had murals of beaches and other such tropical scenes, which I took as a portent for things to come.
Outside, the sun was shining, and although the breeze was a bit cooler than I would like it, overall it was still a beautiful Spring day. Before going to the restaurant, I went for a walk around the town of Westchester. I saw a red-breasted robin, the first time I saw one, I believe.
Although I was spending my birthday practically alone, in spirit I was accompanied with thoughts and memories from everyone. It's just 29 more days (according to my fishy ticker countdown), and I am getting more and more excited.
Thank you for making me feel at home.
