but when your sweetie of 37 years makes a cake (complete with a forest fire of 54 candles), your favorite southern cookin' dinner (with homemade biscuits!), and she and your son both give you great books (brothers in battle, best of friends from my son eric and boom! by tom brokaw from sweetie) and meaningful cards...then the mail brings cards from daughter and grandbabies (rough, funny 4-year old Evan and sweet, beautiful 6-year old Grace...that's her in the pic)...punctuated with a note in the custom-made card from Grace "i heart you googolplex, papa!"...her favorite new word...well, it's a lot easier to take clicking off another year...and like they say, the alternative is kind of a bitch...

Happy Birthday from a fellow Floridian.

Don't know what the alternative to celebrating getting older would be - the rumors do fly - but I know that the year seems to be shorter than it should be to put all the good stuff in it that I want to do. SO Happy Birthday, and have a great year until the next one, those little darlin's will get older faster than you will - so hug them hard and make them laugh.
