Seriously, I just mowed the thing. Stupid kids.
The ol’ mortality meter that’s always been on the left-column of this site has been jacked up by another year. I figured I’d probably better do so, since I’m getting zillions of emails from all the forums I have accounts on, telling me it’s my birthday today (it’s actually in about 15 minutes, but close enough).
My cousin and I share the same birthday (I’m 12 hours or so older), and he sent me wishes at the crack of dawn this morning. It wasn’t until later that I realized why: he’s stationed in Japan, and it was after midnight over there.
So what do I plan on doing for my palindromic birthday? Not a thing. I’m going to sleep in (or at least attempt to), loaf around, play with my kids, and not do anything (and most of all, avoid the chaos at the Old Mill). And I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.
