Happy birthday!

So, Happy Birthday! It sounds like you have some plans for the weekend, which is good. What can beat Sushi in NYC (aside form sushi in Japan)?

I hear you about the unremarkability of birthdays. I feel similarly. I think it comes from growing older. Only decades become milestones, whereas in your 20s, the difference between 21 and 24 was a vast one. Only the difference between, say, 33 and 43 can really compare.

I would prefer not to celebrate mine. But a part of me is really touched when we do. The part that isn't would prefer just to forget how old I am and just live.

Thanks for saying what you said about my earlier post. I needed that validation. It is good that we keep in touch this way.

Have an awesome time up in NYC. It must be cool having a studio up there, a place to lay your head.
