I'm a Lucky Dog


Today is my birthday.

I'm 45 years old today. I'm halfway to my own personal life expectancy of 90 years old so it seems I've got another 45 years to raise hell and have fun. That's a terrific prospect...so terrific, that I bounced out of bed with gleeful anticipation this morning at 5:30 am and just hummed through my day. Outta my way, people! I got a lot of living to do!

I had many people wish me well today and I was genuinely touched by their gestures. I've never been one for gifts because to me, there's more value in spending time with someone over a beer and bullshit than collecting a material item. However, I confess I did receive one gift that I absolutely adored. Hollaback Girl sent me a pair of adornments for my lucky charm bracelet: a chicken leg and a waffle. It's perfection. See for yourself (above).

Fang just conjured up some barbecue take out and cracked a nice bottle of Blanc de Noirs. A little pulled pork, a snort of champagne and a free for all heckling of the GOP candidate debates on C-SPAN--well, that just screams party.

I'm feeling good. You would too if you were only 6.4 in dog years.

In dog years you multiply human years by 7 not divide. Stupid cat people.
