birthdays.....

ok, so we have just returned home from an annual event......a birthday gathering to start the birthday week.......we have 2 friends who share my week......in a 15 year spread.......i can still say that i am not yet old.......if old is 50.....but just barely........we dined well with all of our favorite people in lexington......many of whom will travel down for bookclub.........so many offers for taking over bookclub this time around......which means these friends do not REALLY know me......because it would take an act of God for me to skip/defer my annual bookclub dinner.......i am almost done with dinner.......at least with the worst part of onion soup........now if i could only pry the book from my spouse's hands for a bit of review........i have read it at least 8 times...but it may be the 9th reading where the insight gushes down from on high..............
