today:/the anniversary of my birth

...as my father insisted on reminding me every time anyone mentioned it was my birthday today. 'it's not your birthday. it is the anniversary of your birth [day].' yeah alright already! it seems, although i may be wrong, but more friends remembered this year. perhaps i have facebook to thank, or perhaps i'm entering another age when birthday's are once again noted. our mid thirties, sliding in to the two score years...everyone is busy with their own lives we need an excuse to get together now. a reason. what better than a birth anniversary, and of course, births, marriage and death...thank you to all who really did make this day special and one i will remember.
