Recently.....

On Sunday, I will be 35 years old. Scary thought, isn't it? When my mum and dad were 35, they were raising Goat and myself! Not much else is new here. Thanksgiving was sleepy and laid back; we had dinner at my cousin's house. My actual meal was vegetarian and thus, kosher, although I did indulge in an appetizer containing bacon. Tonight, I'm going out with my family to Frisches for a birthday dinner. In fact, perhaps I should start getting ready- they're coming to pick me up between 4 and 5 pm......

I guess I'll play YoVille, take afternoon meds, and curl up with the Notebook.  Maybe tomorrow, "under Orion's starry sky," in the Gardens of Sampson and Beasley (wherever the hell that is), I too, may find my heaven.......in the meantime:

The ship is sort of sinking, so let's start drinking, before we start thinking, is this a life?
Thank you, Jonathan Larson!
