One Year Wiser

Last Sunday was my birthday and thanks to Facebook I got a lot more wishes than I did in the previous years. Yes, Facebook can be annoying but for occassions like these it is wonderful. Also I am glad I now own a few more Adidas, Reebok, New Balance, Marmot, Buff & Nike stuff. Yes, the theme for this year is sporting goods...Is it a hint for "you are a fat pig and it's time to slim down" or "there are holes in your t-shirt, please wear something else"? Anyway, it's the thought that counts and I appreciate all the calls and wishes for those not in Singapore. I am so thankful to have family and close friends around. Family has always been there for me. Friends are precious because I am getter fewer and fewer friends. Some have moved away and my grouchy demeanor is not making me any new ones. Anyway, I was encouraged by all of you. I got through the past year hopefully a little wiser but definitely a little older.
