it’s my birthday
and generally that passes with a recognition from a chosen few. this year, however, i have a facebook account. needed one to keep track of the wife and kids’ cyberspace activities. it is also, apparently, the gateway to a thousand well wishes. that’s kindof neat, and it’s also kindof like a “holy crap, people are [...]
