Another Birthday Passed

Another birthday just about over. It has me remembering my 17th when friends tried luring me away from home with an evening of bowling, so a surprise party could be prepared in my absence, upon my return. Though bowling did seem a bit odd and suspicious since I had a walking cast on my leg at the time from a basketball induced ankle sprain.

It's kinda funny but at least in my case, I barely give birthdays a thought anymore. This one arrived and passed by in a blur. A friend left a pie on my front porch. Another sang the first two lines of 'Happy Birthday' to me. That's all that one really needs .... a person or two to care. 

Now it's 364 days of hoping to reach the next life marker.
