Today is my 79th birthday. I am thankful for...
- Making it this far, alive and I suppose about as well as can be expected, for someone who doesn't really take good care of themself.
- An uneventful flight to the US, without any of the problems at the border that I was worried about. NO thanks for apparently-current-limited back-of-seat power sockets.
- Having remembered to bring extra-absorbent paper underwear. NO thanks for forgetting toenail clippers and a multitool, among other things.
- Uber, Lyft, and Crown Limo.
- A ride to my DOL (Department of Licensing) appointment, with good conversation.
NO thanks for mid-March snow -- isn't it almost spring now?

Glad you survived the journey out, and happy birthday! Do you feel like an adult yet?
