Everything that matters most is everything you cannot see. The Witch King of Angmar- and you know it. I coughed up that pithiness just now while trying to think of more than a mere little facebook status update thanking everyone for their birthday wishes. It kinda sums up my whole existence... And by the way, thank you all very, very much for taking a few seconds to send me a note! Those few clicks of the keys brought a smile to my face. Your kind remembrances where only other gift I was given this year apart from simple experiences: dining out, movie, circus and museum going... I did not receive any material gifts- excluding food and drink, of course. I think this is the first time I have not been cluttered with objects useful or otherwise... No cards, no left over cake, no thing to mark the day as special to me . Unless you count several transaction receipts and the doodle I made on my wall calendar. It feels odd to buck long stand...
