How to celebrate your birthday when you’re old

First, go watch your nephew in the playoff game and marvel at the fact that third and fourth graders can actually play good football. Then watch his team pull out a touchdown in the last two minutes of the game. Then watch the other team pull out a touchdown and tie it. Then watch his team get another touchdown but miss the extra point in overtime. Then watch his team force the other team to fumble and win the game, moving on to the Superbowl.

That was fun. So was shopping for a new Wii game (the Simpsons) with Jake, who is currently practicing his baseball game so I won’t beat him too easily.

Tonight, dinner at the G.’s and Sarah’s amazing Apple Tarty Thing for dessert. (It has a name, but we like to call it that.)

Yeah, way better than the drunken blowouts of my youth. And no hangover to recover from the next day.

    You, old? Nonsense.

    Mature, maybe. Old, no. Lovely, definitely.

    Ad meah v’esrim, kiddo. May you have many, many more, all in good health and “without limit to any good thing.”
