David Before Shave

It’s official! I survived 30 full years on this planet. It was quite an accomplishment, let me tell you. Do you know how many cars had to not hit me when I was crossing the street? How many bad drivers had to not slam into me going really fast. How many diseases had to attack someone else? Well, I’ve been lucky so far and I’m going to press my luck and go for a few more years.

In case the beard has become too recognizable to all the dangers out there, I’ve shaved the sides off and gone with the goatee. This way I won’t be recognized for awhile.

My birthday was a lot of fun. There was the party on Sunday, the Mission Pizza on Tuesday with Talli, the mini celebration with family on Wednesday complete with an organic chocolate mousse that Talli made for me and port to finish it off. Well, it’s over. I mean the runon sentence of course, I might try to stretch the festivities until the weekend. It is my thirtieth after all. If everyone gets to ask me how it feels, at least I get to take some time to truly ponder it while celebrating!
