My birthday

[stonebender]

53 years rolling around on this orb. I'm surprised to be saying that. To be honest, it's been a largely sucky year personally. We seem to be getting through it but just barely. Things could get worse, but I think we will cope. The world seems to be on the verge of something. I am scared and amazed by recent events. Maybe we will turn the ship around just in time. Of course there's lots of things that could happen both good and bad. I stand with the public employees in Wisconsin. In fact I stand with unions and if I could figure out how to boycott the Koch brothers, I would. I would encourage all my friends and even my enemies to do the same. Thank you all who pay attention to my infrequent meanderings here. Thank you to my friends and family. Even though things are scary, I do love my life and those in it.

the koch brothers own georgia pacific, fyi. this means i have to find a new favorite brand of toilet paper, dammit.

i will see you in 18 days. at which point i will give you a birthday hug, if that seems pleasing to you.

[stonebender]

Absolutely. Looking forward to seeing you.

Oops, I got distracted. :) I haven't made a study of it yet, but I got the impression the Koch brothers were so into everything that it would be difficult/impossible to avoid giving them money somehow. I will avoid Georgia Pacific. Thanks.
