Teach Me How To Birthday

It's my birthday today. I'm 56 years young, and I feel great. Gout's in remission, new LaserDisc of "Ordinary People" arrived in the mail today, and I've got Toto on pump here in the condo. Not too loud, though, since I can't really listen to loud music like I used to!

At any rate: this doesn't really mean as much anymore, all this stuff. I'm a little bit older and a little bit happier than usual, and I guess that's a good thing and augurs well enough. But I think it mostly owes to the video above. That is the attitude I am going to take in the year ahead. Also the life-jacket I am going to wear at all times, just in case.
