Older, Wiser
An impressively long and heartening string of birthday wishes poured in today over on Facebook. Add to that a couple of phone calls, a couple of cards, lunch with friends, and an improvised cake+ice cream social with Is.'s neighborhood pals, and, well, turning thirty-five hasn't gone too badly. In fact, it has all in all been pleasant.

I didn't say it on FB but will say it here: Happy birthday! It sounds like a perfect day to me.
Posted by: Clancy at May 5, 2009 11:03 PMThanks, Clancy. It was a good day. I didn't mention it yet, but I was given as a gift a slick pocket pedometer, too, just the thing to amp up my geekiness ever so slightly. Might put it to use for a "quantified self" project one of these days with vital statistics, such as how many steps I walk as a first-year assistant professor, etc.
