They Say It’s Your Birthday!

May 22, 2020 – To say that my birthday (May 20th) helped restore my faith in humanity would be a bit hyperbolic. I would say, however, that the outpouring of well wishes and Happy Birthdays from friends, colleagues, and family meant so much to me. Obviously, I enjoyed the attention, and it left me with some great memories along with a warm feeling deep inside my restless soul.

I posted my thanks on Facebook, but I wanted to mention my thanks here on my blog.

Once again, thanks to everyone for making my birthday special. 

I’ll leave you with some of the lyrics to the Beatles Birthday song, which is one of my favorite Beatles’ songs…

They say it’s your birthday
We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s your birthday
Happy birthday to you


May 31, 2020 – It’s been a little more than ten days since my birthday, obviously. I’ve been a bit unmotivated to write and/or complete any blog posts (hence the lag in posting dates). I finished the last two posts for my Corona Blues series (Parts 3 and 4), and, as you can see above, my birthday thank you post. In that ten days, however, our world has become even more surreal, so its understandable that my motivation has been lacking. All I will say is this – as a society we need to come together and figure some things out. I’ve said something similar before, but it really rings true for these past five or six days. We have some terrible problems that are going to continue tearing this country apart.

That’s all, for now…just a small vent.
