Today is Andy’s birthday, and while it’s not as big as last year’s surprise event, a birthday is still a milestone worth celebrating. Of course, that’s not quite in Andy’s nature, so he’s requested that we do nothing today and I have no choice but to honor that. It’s certainly not how I handle birthdays, but it’s his special day, so whatever he wants goes. I’ve offered to cook the first dish I ever made for him, and I’ve picked up two small cakes (one carrot and one chocolate) for whatever mood he’s in. His gift is more utilitarian than extravagant, but that’s how he would like it. And there’s something to be said for the good people, like my husband, who don’t need a fanfare and spectacle of things to be content.
Happy Birthday, Andy ~ and many happy returns of the day!!
