Once Dad would have been on his feet, pacing around the fire. I’m just glad he’s feeling good enough to be out watching it.

This will be my third attempt to post a birthday blog. Blogger ate the first attempt for an improperly closed HTML—which X2 used to pronounce “hate mail”— tag. The Blogger editor used to a little more forgiving than that, but I guess they’ve made it so easy to use that it’s extremely destructive.
Other than disgruntlement with Blogger, this has been one of the best birthdays I can remember. Unfortunately, since it’s taken so many times to get this post done, I don’t remember all of the things I was going to list. Here are some of them:
- Quality time spent with loved ones
- Good health
- Word that Dad’s radiation is done with and he’s starting to get his health back
- Enough rain for burning the brush pile at the farm to be thinkable
