Fifty-four years of age. Not a milestone, just another birthday. Today was full of peace. Not one iota of tension or ill will. Just peace. World History class students sang Happy Birthday to me, Comfort-Mikuni Faculty Family sang HB and we ate cake together, and Girls' VB Activity (15 girls) sang HB to me. Nazuna, my wife, sent me a very special email full of musical notes. I wonder how she did that. Facebook friends sent me greetings from around the world. So many people whom I miss dearly. My mom is always the earliest. She sent me a card which arrived two days ago. There is always a gift. I can hear my dad say, "Don't spend it all at one place." Mom called just as we finished eating dinner. Nazuna cooked gyoza. AJ wished me HB at dinner. Marina is busy at U of L and maybe I will hear from her later. Hear from my brother Ben already. Nephews, Nieces, Friends, Neighbors, Colleagues, Students, Staff all have remembered me. NiCE! AJ is playing cello and I am resting after replying to about 20 Facebook Birthday well-wishers. Nice day. No, great day.
