"Observe in short how transient and trivial is all mortal life; yesterday a drop of semen, tomorrow a handful of spice and ashes. Spend, therefore, these fleeting moments on earth as nature would have you spend them..."
- Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book IV;48 (translated by Maxwell Staniforth)

Seemed appropriate for today. My mother remembered to call me this AM. I'm surprised as all get-out.

Happy Birthday Babe.

I never asked, are you doing anything for it?

[drwex]

Not really. I threw myself a party five years ago and declared myself done with throwing my own parties. We've failed our Get Babysitting skill check twice for this weekend so I also don't think I'll be going to other peoples' events.

Happy Birthday light of my life. You are still the music behind all I see, hear, or do.

Your analogies are as strained as your meanings are clear. Thank you Babe.
