Today is my birthday. That being said, no I won't say how many candles are on the cake. Birthdays are so much fun, except for the getting another year older part, though, I guess getting older isn't so bad considering the only alternative to getting older is getting dead. In fact, I think considering the alternative to getting older, I look pretty good. I am having a lot of fun, when your birthday falls on a long holiday weekend, as they say, "The fun never stops", so far this weekend I have gone out for pizza, then to the movies to see "Prince Caspian", gone out for a seafood dinner ( I love seafood), gone to a French and Indian War re-enactment at Fort Stanwix, had a nice BBQ with all of my family, with cake, ice cream, and neat presents; tonight I am planning on going out for ice cream at Sylvan Beach. For birthdays, it doesn't get much better than that.
Both my grandmothers lived well into their 90's, so if I inherited the right genes, I may have a ways to go yet. One of these years I think I will hire a hot air balloon for a birthday ride, or if I am flush with cash, maybe go to Europe; when you can't think of anything at all you would like to see or do, you are old.
And I am not old. Yet.
