Today and tomorrow I have lunches out for my birthday, so this celebrating thing is stretching out nicely. The weather is great and I'm cheerful enough about getting older. Evidently the Google founders are becoming nervous about their own aging, as they've formed a group to do research and perhaps save them from the horrors the rest of us mortals face. Perhaps I'm being too cynical, but it must be a shock to have all the money in the world and still not be in control. Steve Jobs being a case in point. They're like Siddhartha, insulated for a time through wealth and privaledge, then realizing that life is not static, and and what is created is also destroyed, or transformed at least.
I had a nice long talk with my best friend last night, catching up on recent events, sharing feelings and just generally having fun. She had been on a trip, and I had right before, so we had some describing to do. It always feels better to me after I've "checked in" with her. So good to have a swim buddy in this sea of life.
