As some of you know, I'm not big on birthdays. They are often full of disappointment and hurt. But this one was very nice. The princess started the day by handing me a card and a bag of chocolate candy. Lumpy called me twice at work to wish me a happy day. I came home to find dinner (one of my favorite meals) simmering on the stove. After dinner, I was presented with a flaming Black Forest cake and chocolate ice cream. (He just had to put all the candles on it. )
All in all, it's been pretty good. No blood-letting, no bodies to hide in the attic.
