Birthday


Yesterday was my birthday.   I did the math on that.  I am now 64 years old and stuck in self-isolation some 16 miles from the capital city of Montana.  Most significantly, I am a party of one.
In spite of all that, I had quite a birthday.  First thing in the morning, three beautiful girls from Manila sang “Happy Birthday” to me by means of smartphone video.  I received birthday wishes from friends and family spread from coast to coast—including a few more renditions of “Happy Birthday “over the phone.  Facebook lit up with birthday wishes.  At the end of the day, Tad, Stacie, Cooper, and Sawyer St. Clair sent me a video of their “Happy Birthday.”
Before ending my day entirely, I found a song of my own, cranked up my stereo, and pranced a little.
Happy birthday to me!
