08:30 – Happy Birthday to me. Today I turn 59 or, as I prefer to think of it, 0x3B. Or twenty thirty-nine.
Kim called yesterday. She had a computer problem, so I downloaded a virus scanner and went to her house to load and run it. As it was installing and running, we sat and talked. She mentioned that Jasmine’s 19th birthday was coming up in a couple of weeks and I mentioned that my birthday is today. She didn’t realize our birthdays were so close. I said yep, that I was two weeks older than Jas. And 40 years.
Jas has just finished her freshman year of college, and Kim was telling me about Jas’s boyfriend, who’s a year younger than she is. He’s just graduated high school, and Kim really likes him. The kid is a football star, and I found the idea of Jas dating a jock somewhat surprising, not to say worrying. Then Kim mentioned that the boy wants to go on to college and major in zoology. Ah. That’s okay, then.
