Birthday post number 2:

I need to stop expecting a karma shift related to birthday goodness. We all learned long ago that your special day doesn’t mean escape from work and responsibility. For me it’s more an excuse for revelry. How else could I get my friends to a bar trivia night all the way out at Capitol Hill on a Tuesday night? However, there’s still a part of me that’s holding out hope for romantic and professional lightening to strike today.
