Twenty-five

Independence Day they say rolling around next Monday. More like the day I turn better looking each year. Gets better with age they say.

It's not too early for a drink.

Is it your birthday already? Well, we shall have to do something to mark the occasion.

[neptune_storm]

Soon enough it seems.

It's a Monday, isn't it? When and how would you like to celebrate, dearest?

[neptune_storm]

I'd rather it end with an explosion than getting closer to the big 4-0. I don't like the silver and white look.

A gentleman as distinguished as yourself need not fear something as paltry as an extra candle on the cake. You have plenty of accomplishments to mark instead. Why don't we celebrate those?

[neptune_storm]

You just know how to talk up my ego.

[venusingucci]

What can I say? It's a gift.

Speaking of, what would you like for your birthday?

[neptune_storm]

Talent.

I've got a long list this year.
