Today, March 26, marks my 71st birthday. I never thought I’d live this long and I don’t know how I’ve managed it. Its been a lot of fun, though. The only thing is, I still don’t know what I want to be when (if) I grow up. ---

71 and can’t spell “favor”? Seriously, have a great time. Growing up is over rated anyway. I have been a teenager for 40 years. ---

I guess I forgot how to spell “favor.” I have no idea what a “fafvor” is but I’m grateful for them anyway. And I’ve been a teenager for a lot longer than forty years. ---

One of my sister’s rabid republican friends is taking me to a local American Legion for dinner tonight. He’s also a birther so I guess I’ll hear a lot of stuff I’d rather not hear. But what the hell, I’ll take a nap later. ---
