Hoax?

My Birthday Holiday Season has started with a whimper this year, which is a little disconcerting considering that it celebrates an even four decades of people being annoyed by my presence. A little depressing too. I’ve countered that at the moment with Love Shack playing in a loop at, once again, annoying levels. Who doesn’t love a Chrysler as big as a whale, after all?

My sister has begged off whatever celebration might have occurred to be at work the next day. I’m of two minds about this. Really working? A hoax to engender surprise when she shows up unannounced at some unplanned, “sorry it didn’t work out” consolation dinner?

I’m not buying any of it (proposing a “third way?” that’s just weird. – ed). We’ll just have to see, won’t we?

Your pal,
