Birthday musings 2008


Who can say what makes a birthday fun? My best friends say I'm a bit obsessed with birthdays and indeed when there was nothing else in my brain 20 years plus ago I was inclined to over - do. My own was always the best. Mostly because I enjoyed it--every one else did too. I am blessed with a great day--April 11--is almost always a beautiful day. It is spring at long last. On a weekend, as was this one, it is a time for serious partying and enjoying myself. I take the day off work; this year I skied. I saw friends. Listened to a lot of live music. It all came together without much effort. That's the way it should be.
Off years are the best. Not a big one. Just something that celebrates the fact that I am still here, sharing time and space with loved ones.
Thanks to (Dumpstaphunk) Ivan Neville, Tony Hall, Allen Kaufman, Heidi Albrecht, Raymond, Chris and DJ, Hayley and Pipes, Paul Tillotson who sang to me from the stage and mostly Ken--for my fantastic night into day...
