January 26, 2012
We were out driving around yesterday when Elliott turned to
me and said, “I don’t know what day it is anymore because everyday feels like
Saturday because I’m going someplace with you. Everyday is Saturday now.” Well, yesterday was a special day for another reason. It was Elliott’s 99 and 2/3
birthday! Only four more months
until the big 100, but we believe in more frequent celebrations. We went out for a Japanese hibachi
lunch after a fascinating and very informative morning program at Beth El on
the history of Ellis Island. In
the afternoon, Elliott bought himself a new man-bag as a gift. It’s actually a handy shoulder bag that
he can use on the upcoming trip for his Kindle, cellphone, wallet, magnifying
glass – basically the necessities he’ll need to carry everyday. The previous day, I’d bought him a
present at REI: a bright red Swiss
Army knife. He had fun popping the
air-filled plastic packaging pouches that came in the Amazon shipment
yesterday. Birthdays are so much
fun, whether you’re 9 or 99!
