Things that make me go “hmmm”…
* Getting a birthday card from my orthodontist.
* Present causing the most excitement: a new pillow.
* My favorite tradition: that glass of Bushmills Black Bush.
* Eating a third of my birthday cake, by myself. (Admittedly, only 9″ square cake, but still.)
* NPR running a story about why time seems to go faster as you get older and playing the song “Happy Birthday” over and over again. On my birthday.
* My niece informing her mother (my sister) that while she (my sister) was old, at least she wasn’t as old as Uncle Phil.
* Thrilled to have a gift certificate to my local coffee shop: Now I can make it through the first few months of my sabbatical without going broke!
* Wondering if I will ever get tired of new Star Wars stuff.
It was an interesting day. I’m sure I’m missing things, but this covers the bulk of what I needed to get out there.

Sabbatical! grand. Just don’t spend all of it in front of the PS3 :p
Unless of course, that is the focus of your work. I accidentally read it as Sabbathical at first, and I thought it just meant taking a break from church.
I hope you never get tired of Star Wars stuff. I won’t know what to get you.
Happy B day!
“Wondering if I will ever get tired of new Star Wars stuff.”
In the Good Old Days glue from toy models helped suppress memory and kept the models and associated toys/memories “fresh” longer.
You know what you have to do.
