Today is Holly's 50th birthday. While I was able to avail myself of the 3:30am hotflashes to say happy birthday, I had to wait until 7am to properly sing her the Happy Birthday song which is customary in my family. She was good natured too about the big tube of "Oil of Old Age" which I gave her. Tonight we'll go to the local hangout to celebrate a bit. We haven't done nearly enough of that- what with the cruise trip to Scandinavia, the cabin weekend with friends at the Va Creeper trail, and of course that happy birthday wish at 3:30am. Tee hee. Anyway, I feel incredibly lucky and blessed to be here now and celebrating my girlfriend's 50th. In some ways, it feels like I am celebrating my 50th birthday too. After my struggles and health challenges of the past few years, I feel older than 47. So 50 seems as good as any age to pick, and it's a fun one to commemorate. Thankfully I'm here and healthy and happy and able to be part of so many fun events.
