I live about 3 hours away from my friends so for my birthday I Iike getting together to catch up with everyone. Usually we go to a fun restaurant like Buca di Beppo or Joe’s Crab Shack.

This year is a big blowout. I’m turning 50 and we’re going to Vegas! My husband and I don’t gamble so we’re going to see the shows, go ziplining, visit the dam, and spend time with friends of ours who live there. Hopefully the weather will have gone back to normal by then. (We live in PA. Snow is what we’re trying to get away from.)

Always hated my birthday, then my wife chose the day before it to die.

When I was a kid and I got to have birthday parties, sure, birthdays were the best.

When I was about 10, my parents unilaterally decided that instead of parties we would do “something special” which was usually going to see a movie. After that, meh, I go out of my way to conceal my birthday.
