birthday


it was my birthday today.
i don't know why i have always had trouble on my birthday
have i always? i can't remember when it started
something about this day depresses me
and it doesn;t have to do with getting older (as far as i can tell)

it helps when the people you care about make sweet gestures -
shots with, and paid for by, the soccer team
flowers left at my workplace the night before so that i could find them the morning of
the happy birthday song sang by 3 and 4 year olds
a birthday rocket
cake
family plus tony dinner out
short and long distance phone calls
sharing wine, beer, wine, wine with friends
and even a fed ex package that will never actually be delivered.
