Ambiguous Birthday Musings

So, today is my birthday. I'm like, really old. At least if "really old" meant "I am not old enough to have seen Walter Cronkite read the news" or, perhaps, "Born after the USSR finally introduced daylight savings time". Take that Saskatchewan.

But, this is sort of an odd birthday. Happy, to be sure: I'll be boozing it up on the weekend. But at the same time, this year's happenings have made today a little bittersweet, and it's hard not thinking about that today.

Funnily enough, "bittersweet" is also the best kind of chocolate to put in cakes. Just sayin'.
