Well, another year has gone by, and I've reached the ripe old age of 41. It's been an interesting year with some good stuff and some bad stuff. So, in general, a normal year. I was going to take today off work but then ended up with last minute travel plans, so I'm taking all of next week off instead.
I was talking to my mother and aunt about their trip to Vail next week and they kept saying they wanted me to go, and I realized that I really wanted to go. So, I am. I leave tomorrow afternoon and come back the following Saturday. I used to spend a week in Vail with my aunt almost every summer when I was younger. It's been years since I've been there and I'm excited to be going. Plus, this is the first time I'll have spent any time alone together with my mother and aunt as an adult, and that should be interesting. We've always gotten along well and I think it will be nice finally spending time together as adults. I don't know what's planned, if anything, but I'm really looking forward to the trip.
I don't know what's planned for tonight. Maybe dinner out, maybe some gifts. No matter what, I'm sure it'll be enjoyable.
Since so many other people seem to post what happened in history on their birthday, I'll do the same
- 1806 - The Holy Roman Empire went out of existence as Emperor Francis I abdicated.
- 1911 - Lucille Ball was born.
- 1914 - Serbia declares war on Germany; Austria declares war on Russia.
- 1945 - Hiroshima is bombed, killing 66,000 people instantly.
- 1968 - I was born.
