Birthdays

I am very partial to mine and I finally figured out why I love them so much.  I had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my birthday!

Think of the things we do every day that could earn us blame, justified or not.  Cooking - "Too much salt!"  Writing - "That's two paragraphs too long; tighten it."  Cleaning - "You missed a spot!"   Driving - "OMG!  Stop this car!"  Paying a bill - did you remember to do that?

You see our daily lives are filled with potential tongue lashings.  But not your birthday!  There is no possible way you can be blamed for your own birth.  So roister and frolic for a least a week -- you're home free 'cause it's your birthday!
