Happy Birthday to Us

Happy Birthday to Ruth and Charlie Barshaw, who were both born on May 23.

I feel sorry for Ruth, because her sister Kathy was born a year and a day later, on May 24, and for years they shared a birthday party (one of those combination for convenience things big families tend to do.)

When she was finally on her own at college, she had to meet me, who hogged her birthday celebration again. She may have had a year or two without birthday interferance between going to MSU and meeting and marrying me, but that's just not enough.

So, when I turned 60 last year I resolved to have no more birthdays. While everyone is celebrating my birthday on FB, I am secretly staying 60 from now on.
