To those who best survive the life they’ve led

By Me | March 8, 2006

Gino turns 50 today. (Happy birthday, sweetie!) He celebrates by visiting the Trough of Despond.

I recognize that there’s not much I can do about the peaks and valleys of his depression. He’s sought treatment. All I can do is wait.

Well, that and bake a birthday cake.

All that time we spent waiting for March and what’s the first thing Ma Nature does when it arrives? Why, only dump six or seven inches of snow on our hopeful little heads.

Ma has a great sense of humor.

The good news is that we’re scheduled for the Big Thaw this week, expecting temps to get all the way up into the 40s and 50s. Yayness!

Before you know it, I’ll be back to drinking my morning coffee on the front porch and wishing I had a laptop so I didn’t have to do my work indoors.

    Hey Gino, happy birthday. Sorry it’s late but incase you haven’t noticed (or if anyone hasn’t noticed) I’m a lil harder to get a hold of lately. Got some stupid stuff gotta solve like math problems and why I haven’t done the disco to celebrate the 50’s music as Gino’s birthday present from me to him. That is what he wanted right? A 50’s disco-awesomeness party? Take it easy.
