Yeah, what this is called is my age today |
The image to the left perfectly captures my age today. I totally remember 45's. I still wish I had a few of them, so I could sell them on eBay. I can't remember the songs I had on 45's, but I suspect they were, well, awful. How could they have not been? I started listening to music in the mid-70's (shudder). Enough said.
It's been a good day. The birthday salutations coming in on Facebook have been great. Apparently, I've been a bit transparent in my love of food and finding myself all over the world, because a lot of the greetings mentioned food and travel. I suppose they could mention worse, way worse things. The post of the day though was this one:
Sir, I hope that your birthday is magical and that all your birthday dreams will come true. Until I see you again, live the dream sir.
Duly noted, Cam, duly noted.
So leaving now to cap off the evening with a birthday dinner of the finest in Israeli food at the Naf Naf Grill. It'll be a good dinner with the stunningly patient and mighty fine SML. Would be nice if the Boy joins us but since he got his license, we don't see a lot of him. Anyway, I'm a lucky man. I got another year out of life. I'm surrounded by people who inexplicably love me and I've got good, no, great friends. Makes for a great birthday.
I hope it was a great day! If you started listening to music in the mid-70's, I'm amazed you still listen to anything. It was not a decade that contributed much of anything to human culture. But they were my college, marriage and law school years -- with many, many happy memories.
ReplyDeleteAge 45? You're only a child. Does your mother know what you do when you're out and about?
