My immediate family is small, so I try not to let events go unnoticed. One almost slipped past my radar though. Fifteen days ago I got my customary alert on my phone. A birthday was imminent. That birthday is today. What I didn’t realize is it’s a milestone. My cousin is now a full-fledged, card carrying member of adulthood. It’s not a particularly exclusive organization, if you could even call it that. He’s part of that lose web of folks eking out a living, entitled by experience to start thinking of themselves as “old.”
My one and only cousin (going by the strictest definition) turns thirty today.
Happy birthday, my good (old) man!
Thanks John! I think my twitter reply really sums it up; “@JwKauffman Can you believe that I’ve made it around the sun 30 times and I don’t even have a swell tan!”
