River: Between Birthdays

[mdlbear]

Today is my 75th birthday "observed" -- I was on the island yesterday, so my party at N's has been put off to today. I don't know what I expected it to feel like, and I'm not really sure what, if anything, it does feel like, because Wednesday would have been Colleen's 70th and we would normally be celebrating our mutual birthdays with a combined party.

Traditionally (when we were living at Grand Central Starport in San Jose) it was called the "It's Green" party, since the day after Colleen's birthday is St. Patrick's Day, and we served Green Rooster beer along with corned beef and cabbage. Green Rooster is no longer available; since it little to recommend it except its color, I don't miss it. But I miss the potluck parties we used to have. And it doesn't feel right to only be celebrating one birthday this week.
