Meine Vierzig Geburtstag

Today's my birthday... and Hitler's! Those of us born on 4/20 are now reminded of that sad coincidence annually with news items on each anniversary of the Columbine massacre.

On a MUCH lighter note, here are a birthday song and a party song. I dedicate today's post to my cousin Anita. Like me, she was born on a cusp. And now she lives on the cusp between Red Hook and Cobble Hill. Great to see you again, Nita!

I hope you like 40--I've enjoyed it so far!

It's true, I checked into it.
