Here I am! Still alive and able to process coherent thought 55% of the time!

Thank you to all of you who left me good wishes as I rapidly descend into the pit of senility turn another year older.

My current Twitter status is this: Hey, now that I'm old and senile, wanna trade dentures? I'll even wipe mine off first, if you want.

To describe part of what I did today, I'm going to copy and paste this e-mail I sent to Morgen a few minutes ago:

I've had a good birthday; nice and peaceful.
Mom and Dad took me to Olive Garden, and it was soooo goooood.
Everything was nice. The service, the food, everything. I had that new "mezzaluna" (half-moon) pasta. It's half-circle ravioli stuffed with melty cheeses and covered in a yummy sauce (garlic, cream, white wine, ooooohhhhhh.) with shrimp. Mom's was the same mezzaluna pasta but she got the sausage version. I tried a piece of the sausage and it was heavenly.
For dessert I had that "black tie" cheesecake torte layered thingy. Wow. Like all the chocolate in the world, exploding in your mouth all at once. OMG.
Highly recommended. :)

And..... yes..... the employees simply had to come over and clap while singing their birthday tribute song loud enough for the whole universe to hear. LOL. Embarrassing yet still somewhat fun, in a "shoot me now" kind of way.

I had a good day. :)
