Today is Bert’s birthday, the last one before the big 30. Bert, being an Olympian in training does not enjoy getting older (although he’s by no means delving into the depths of despair). I however, am looking forward to getting older, until I reach the age of 32. I want to stop aging then.

Anyway we have a rule in our family that if you don’t like a birthday present you have to say so, so that it can be returned for something else. I really like this rule because it allows me to take risks in terms of what I buy. This year the risk was a jacket. A very cool jacket which isn’t quite Bert’s usual style…we’ll have to see what the verdict is.

Anyway, for Christmas I got Bert movie passes which came with a ‘free admission on your birthday’ pass so we’re off to the movies this afternoon. I really love getting stuff for free, especially since I think they added that pass on the assumption that very few people would actually use it…ha, got ya there Famous Players.

Happy Birthday Bert!
