So, today is my actual birthday and if you will indulge me, I want to say one more thing about birthdays, about joy, about celebration.
I was in the Chicago area last week.
I went to two amazing schools, and at each school, the kids sang me “Happy Birthday.”
To be serenaded by a library full of kids, at the tail end of a long winter, at the half-century mark of your life, is the sweetest thing imaginable.
It’s enough to make you believe in spring.
