Just got an automated phone call wishing me happy birthday and playing a scratchy recording of some cheesetastic birthday song. My guess is something my mother signed up for. Thoughts counting etc.

For any birthday I might have over, say the age of 70, if you want to get me something, make it a party location that doesn’t have any stairs. I just left a birthday party for a 91 year old father of a friend. It was going very well right up to the point where he fell down some stairs at the restaurant, and had to be taken to the hospital with a possible broken/twisted knee. Here’s hoping he’s all right in the end.
In addition to the traditional calls from Mom, Dad, and Sister1, I got a birthday greeting from the robot at HR Block. It was a little creepy. I wonder if they make those calls to all people who file with them, or just the ones with birthdays close to tax season.
