John Steinbeck's 105th Birthday

Of course he wasn't available. However, his son looks like him.

My birthday 2/25. Yvette took me out to lunch the 24th--at the Steinbeck House [Restaurant]. The House is where Steinbeck's family lived at 231 Central Ave., Salinas, CA. Got a cute card from Janet [& Tim, & Katie].

Matt gave me 2 cards the 25th. Shirley called 2/24, then remembered that I was having a birthday 2/25. Calls from Courtney & Em. Card & gift from Mel.

I was glad Mom [Shirley] called, because I realized I am 61 & I'd been thinking I was 62! That's because I felt 61 for several months before it happened.

Drivel. Anyway, from now on it's just nice to have one more [miserable] day. Gives me time to correct a few things & clean up whatever needs to be cleaned up.
