Today is my birthday. Another year older. I've decided to adopt a plan that my friend introduced after her fiftieth birthday. She's started to subtract one year on the occasion of each of her birthdays after that year. She's finally found a way to become younger then me. Oh well. Happy 49th Birthday to Me! If I take care of myself, maybe I'll make it back to my toddler years. Hopefully I won't toddle too much.

If you've got a daughter or son in boot camp, anytime you get a phone call with U.S. Gov. on the caller-ID, you tend to panic a bit. My heart was firmly lodged in my throat when I answered the phone this morning. Phew! It was just a Marine Corp recruiter calling to talk to my son. After I explained that #1 son wasn't living here anymore, I started laughing. The guy must have thought I was nuts. I explained about our daughter being at boot camp and he laughed along with me and apologized. Nothing personal, but I'd just as soon not get any U.S. Gov. phone calls.
