You know when it’s your significant other’s birthday,
but you’re just too busy to do much,
you manage one kind-of present – not a surprise (so practical)
and you just can’t find your way around work
and you only come home because you think your kid needs the car?

But your friends decide to have a birthday party –
at their house
with pizza and cake and ice cream and presents

And another friend brings movies (16 mm)
from the 1920’s up through maybe the 1960’s
with an intermission and everything
(The Marquis would have really enjoyed the approximately 1957 film on bicycle safety).

And somebody called a few more friends and we all had a good time.

And I now have a lot to be thankful for.

And Carl had a good birthday.
