We aren’t really “birthday people” here – not much for fanfare and not rich enough for anyone to find a brand-new vehicle with a bow on it in the driveway. Today Der Bingle official becomes a senior citizen, and he says he’s happy about it, considering the alternative. For one month and one day, I will be one year younger than he is. I may go to the Dollar Tree and get a few $1 helium balloons to float around the house – just because Summer could find interesting things to do with them . . . I don’t know exactly, but something like tying on messages and using a fan to aim them. Of course, she might say that there’s no need for helium balloons since the candles will make enough heat for hot air balloons.
Maybe I’ll tie a bow on a roll of duct tape and leave it in the driveway.
