39

It's just a number, right?

An astonishing number of the cards that arrived in yesterday's mail sure made it seem like turning 39 was something to be dreaded or denied, but let me tell you, it feels pretty damn good. I know I repeat it every year, but that's simply because it's true: my life gets better and richer and more fulfilling day by day. I'm greatly blessed, with so many dear friends, relatively good health, a career that I love, a marvelous home in a beautiful city...it's an embarrassment of good fortune. Why wouldn't I welcome another year of the same?

And so we begin the traditional Season of Bradvent, the 10-day celebration of my birthday. Thank you to everyone who has sent along good wishes by post, text, e-mail and stripper-gram. I couldn't ask for a better way to bring in my 40th year!
