Day 2589: 02/02/2020

Today is

1. Groundhog Day,
2. a palindrome date (the numbers are the same backwards and forwards), and
3. my 67th birthday!

In 2018, I wrote a song titled “Shameless Appeals for Applause” which starts out

I’ve made it to age 65,

Nothing gets in the way of my passion and drive,

I was born with heart problems but I’m still alive.

I wonder if I need to rewrite that opening?  If so, not today.  Today I’m going to

• watch if the groundhog sees his shadow.
• think about the return of spring in the midst of winter.
• spend the day with my eminently quotable husband Michael who recently said, “If you’re going to learn something, you have to not know it first.”
• enjoy a new production of the musical “Hair.”
• enjoy not having to color my hair.
• get a free meal.
• watch for this Super Bowl commercial, which mentions my hometown:

• share my latest photos with you.

I have all I need in this corner of the world on my birthday, including YOU!
