OH MY…
the years of
BUTTERCREAM
I am not a big fan of birthday cake. But honestly, I am not a big fan of birthdays either for all the standard reasons of vanity and mortality. I suspect my lack of enthusiasm for the cake is tainted by the purpose behind the celebration. My 30th birthday was ugly, but I have high hopes for my 40th. I’ll let you know how it goes when it gets here. In the meantime, share the exhilaration and pain, sentimentality and hope of your birthday experiences with this next call. You’re gonna have the birthday anyway, you might as well make art…
