Happy Birthdays


Happy Birthday to Kayleigh, who is 21 today. Happy Birthday to Mom, who will be 61 in two days, and to Jessica, who will be 18 in a week. (Four of us are 20 years apart: Grandpa is 81, Mom is 61, I am 41, and Kayleigh 21.)

21. What an auspicious age. When I was 21, I was living in Santa Cruz with a bunch of girls in a little house on the infamous West Side. My birthday picture shows me with a handful of cake, chugging a bottle of champagne. The birthday itself was fairly anticlimactic, but I have had a lot of excellent birthdays since. In fact, most of the best ones were yet to come at that point. I hope to have many more.

The fire in Lake Tahoe is now 55% contained, and we are hoping that in spite of high winds predicted again for this afternoon, the trend of further containment continues. Grandma and Grandpa are still safely ensconced in their Modesto hangout. Hopefully they'll be able to return before or by the July 4th weekend.
