Circle of Life Cycling Around and Such
So, my 28th birthday was yesterday. I think I understand another bit of growing up now, in that mostly, it was like just about every other day -- get up, go to work, come home, go to game night (OK, every other Tuesday for me). The fact that I am now 28 instead of 27? Surprisingly inconsequential in my own mind. Woohoo, divisible by 4 & 7, rather than being a cube!
On the other hand, an old friend from college (hi, Adam) and his wife had his first child yesterday, at roughly the same hour I was born, just, you know, in 2011 instead of 1983. We gifted the parents with a book, as inspiring a child to read with the gift of literature is only apropos. However, as I am sympathetic to the parents, the book was the new children's classic "Go the F*** to Sleep" (I was a colicky baby, according to my parents). So a gift to both child and parents. Truly, my generosity knows no bounds, yes?
