The birthday cake was given to dogs (I don’t sweets to avoid rotting of my frail teeth), birthday beer (Sierra Nevada Wheat) was emptied out in front of Facebook in the company of everyone and no one, and another year on my shoulders was received with a shrug. Weeping over or celebrating getting older is for pussies. We are made of steel like the core of a guitar string – we shiver but do not wear nor tear. We only break when we can’t bear the song.
THANK YOU for birthday gift captions!
