It's my Birthday

I am not a boomer.

I am a Gen-Xer by a couple years (depending on the demographer).

But, I am a "mature" Gen-Xer--not wholly given over to self-indulgence and excess (ref. "Less Than Zero")

And, I still have a lot of faith in people and a few institutions. Especially people and those institutions that create environments for community.

So, happy birthday to me.

There shall be no painting today!

The blue iDen wall will have to wait.
