Halfway to Fifty-four

Last year Jason's birthday was overshadowed by The Wedding, so this year we're celebrating for days (as Missy does every year for her birthday). Today's the real day, though, so dinner was salmon ala candlelight, with a side of white pasta that we (who have been faithfully eating whole wheat pasta) ate like it was candy. I am ashamed to say that we literally licked the bowl clean. Present opening, which I anticipated perhaps even more than Jason, followed. The Isaacson book mentioned as being on Jason's nightstand was a favorite. Tomorrow we're celebrating with friends from church, which we are really looking forward to. Jason's a good sport and lets me lavish birthday on him, and I like celebrating him and and the fact that we get to head onward toward 54 together.
