32 – Whoop-Dee-Doo
At 5:37 a.m., July 20, I will have been alive 32 years. Groovy.
Jamie asked me earlier in the week what I wanted to do to celebrate my birthday.
“Nothing,” I responded. I just didn’t feel like turning 32 was a reason to “celebrate”.
“Well, I feel like celebrating,” Jamie responded, “so we’re doing something.”
So, a handful of us made the trek to Pigs Eye Pub in Hartford Saturday night. Simply put, it was a good time. Good conversation, good friends and strong RedBull/Vodka’s made a birthday I’d just as soon forget into one I’ll more than likely remember.
I think 32 is officially the age where you say “I’m in my thirties.”
How old is Walt? He’s in his thirties I think.
