It’s That Time of Year Again.

Having a birthday as you get older is supposed to be something you dread.  It’s in almost every Hallmark card: jokes about incontinence, Alzheimer’s, wearing diapers.  All very funny… actually, having visited my grandmother in the nursing home, I can tell you, it’s not actually very funny at all (until your second visit. Then it’s hilarious).  So according to the cards, we’re all supposed to be fearing aging and lamenting our misspent youth; but I don’t fear aging at all.
