On Wednesday

I'm going to be 30 on Wednesday. I'm feeling somewhat more settled about this than I was a few months ago, but it's still very peculiar. I had a good talk with my father last night, and he told me that he hadn't been too keen on turning 30 (or 40, or 50 either), which helped a bit. It's good to know that I'm not the only person who feels the way I do. Happily, this looks like it's going to be a fairly laid-back birthday. Tuesday is the last day of school for this year, so Wednesday I'll be able to sleep in. Over the weekend we had people over for Father's Day barbecue and birthday cake, and spent the evening in quiet conversation. Aside from that, I've got no major plans, and that'll all right with me.
