Happy birthday to me!

Posted on July 2, 2007 by

Rik_kid_tuxedoThirty-eight years ago I rezzed into this strange realm we called reality.  Such a funny number.  But not so scary, particularly since over the past few weeks I’ve celebrated the birthdays of a 79-year old and a 93-year old lindy hopper.  Both of whom still can kick my butt on the dance floor.

It’s been a wonderful ride so far.  I’ve made some great traveling companions along the way and been to some marvelous places, both real and not so real.  I feel very fortunate to be living the life I’m in.

Right now I’m eating clementines, my favorite fruit, looking forward to whatever the Next Thing is.

    Happy birthday Rik! Wishing you a sweet one, and hoping that your Next Thing is as awesome as that picture of you up there. : )

    Happy birthday! You may not know this, but 38 is the absolute best age to be – you are in your power!

    Happy Birthday! 38 is the best age – Warranty still has a little bit left on it, and by 38 one learns enough not to do (too many) foolish things! 🙂
    You and I are the same RL age (well, I have 4.25 months on ya).

    Happy birthday Rik! To be honest, you don’t even look 38!!! You seem, look and act so much younger I don’t believe in that “38” number!!! Regardless happy birthday man!
