Yesterday was my birthday -- the big 42. It was a nice, low-key day. I went to the Zendo in the morning (an hour early because I forgot to reset my clock!) and then relaxed at home all afternoon. I got some calls from friends and cleaned my floors. Then my friend David, his friend Jimmy and I went to dinner at Montparnasse, one of my favorite restaurants. I came home and watched “The Science of Sleep,” a very bizarre movie starring the very adorable Gael Garcia Bernal.
All this was after going out with my friend Kelly on Saturday night in Brooklyn -- a two-martini Saturday night. Whew!
I like being in my 40s. I feel much more stable, settled and peaceful than I did when I was younger.
I essentially turned off all campaign news over the weekend.

Happy belated birthday! It sounds like you had a wonderfully relaxing day. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, my friend.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect birthday!
ReplyDeleteHey - I LOVED "The Science of Sleep" - it was strange, but then again, so am I. ;-)
Happy Birthday you big lunk-head!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Steve! I wish you many, many more and lots of great adventures!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. Enjoyed celebrating mine with you in NYC last month. I forgot my clock setting too. The great thing about it in the fall is that you get an unexpected gift of an extra hour.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Steve! The forties are a good time, plenty of energy, enough zip to zing and the fifties to look forward to...

Sounds like a great way to celebrate another year. I didn't miss reading the paper or hearing the campaign news while I was in Chicago. I think we all need a break from what has become a barrage. It will be over soon!
ReplyDeletehappy returns steve
