the birthday

GodfatherBirthdays at my age aren't exactly events to celebrate. They're sometimes days to be a little afraid of.

Nonetheless, thanks Wiseman, the birthday song is special. Thanks Ma, Dad and family for your birthday wishes.

And, a big, big thanks to my wife and daughter for my gift. Oodles and oodles of The Godfather. I got the box set! I'm so not worthy of this wealth.

Thanks Maria! It was a great evening, but I might have to wait for Frankie to turn 4 before viewing one of my new DVDs. We'll see.

Afraid of what? You don't look like you're THAT old!

My birthday is one month from today. I will be 49 and I plan to celebrate like there's no tomorrow. Turning 50 does sound scary, but it's a whole lot better than turning 80. You just have to be philosophic about your age...

Belated best wishes for a Happy Birthday from your "regular reader" - Kim

Afraid? Something to do with the whole job thing - long story.

Thanks for your wishes and happy 49th a bit in advance.

Thanks Jon. My wife said she got lots of envious comments from other guys in line while she was buying it. I can't wait to get into the first one. Hope your weekend in New Jersey was relaxing.

I just found your blog and have marked it. It's exciting for me to find a site presented by a person from my beloved hometown of Columbus!

It is a very nice gift, but, you know, someday - and that day may never come - they'll call upon you to do a service for them.
