40 is cool

the cool things that have happened to me on my birthday, so far:

M- sent me a Song of the Day just for me! (The Best of Altered Images, 'Happy Birthday')
XRoomie sent me a few JibJab cards featuring my face that are preventing me from working.
FB friends have covered my Wall with well-wishes.
My coworkers are doing Indian lunch with me.
I paid a couple of bills.
M- said my present arrived and he needs to wrap it. (See? No ring!)

And my dad said that he's changed his mind about the whole Israel-Palestine thing. (My dad is thisclose to becoming a radical in his later age.)

HE'S GOING TO WRAP A TEENY RING IN A GIANT, MISLEADING BOX FOR MAXIMUM SURPRISE.

Old high school friend of mine recently friended me on Facebook. Turns out she lives in a West Bank settlement (probably one of those things that's technically illegal and makes the Palestinians rightfully suspicious). Unfriend or just ignore? It feels creepy.

Happy Birthday! And I agree with Orange about the ring hee hee.

@Orange keep her as a friend and slyly convince her "dat ain't right!"

Happy birthday, bitch! (in response to PHD's post).

Hey, you want to be a "next generation" person for next year's Roe event? Let me know.

Hope the rest of today was great...

@Trope - what's a 'Next Gen'? is that a euphemism for old? (just kidding) of course! i love that event. puts ours to shame.

@everyone - thanks you guys! it was a terrific weekend and i'm still sort of buzzing off it.

it's all uphill from here, right?

Hey, Ding... no, I think "next gen" means younger, or at least slightly less fund-raisey. Somewhere inside the age gap between our standard donor's age and our standard client's age. It's still a committee, and it still involves fundraising, but it's probably (hopefully!) going to involve a pretty cool group of people.

I'm slowly getting over the fact that next year it's not at the Ritz (they are renovating) but I'm sure it will still be swanky.

If you're interested in the next generation committee, email me. I have a gmail acct and the name is ezemke.

Cool? Cool!
