NOW I'M REALLY PUSHING FORTY!
Last Holiday of the Season: Ron's Birthday

I'm thirty nine today. Unlike lots of people I know around my age, birthdays don't really bug me that much, but then, maybe you should ask me about that next year when I turn forty. Anyway, it's been calm as usual on my birthday, given that the whole country is continuing to reestablish its routine after the end of the Christmas/New Year's Axis--frankly, after all the hooplah, I'm in no mood to party down, myself. That doesn't mean there's no reason to experience something low key and quiet, however, because today is the last holiday of the season, Ron's Birthday. I know, I know, as my brother told me last January, some people see Elvis' birthday, January eighth, as the last holiday of the season, but how can such a day not stand on its own? Yeah, that's right, my birthday has got to be the finale.

I did well in terms of gifts too. Check this out. And this, too. Now I own, all the original Trek stuff; maybe I'll watch some after the Sugar Bowl, LSU versus Notre Dame at the Superdome in New Orleans, tonight on TV.

Geaux Tigers! Happy birthday me!
