Birthday season has begun with a bang. What sort of bang might you ask? The sort that has me completely forgetting Bryce's. I didn't forget the date mind you, simply hadn't realized that it had passed. So now that I've missed my best friend's birthday and am scrambling to make up for it, I need to prepare for the coming onslaught. As far as I can remember, Carla, Gentry, Jenny, Catherine, and Kelly are all coming up, along with a whole spate of others who occupy less central places in my current consciousness. If I've forgotten you, please let me know.
