Peter and Caroline are baking me a cake. We have some nice activities planned. <\/p>\n

Caroline gave me my birthday card this morning.<\/p>\n

And I got some cool presents. The 221b lithograph was what my parents got for me. The Dr. Strange legos and the Labyrinth pops are from Peter.<\/p>\n

For those who have read this web log less than a year, I write myself a letter each year that I open on my birthday and then write one for next year. Here is the public part of the letter for this year.<\/p>\n

Dear Kath,<\/p>\n

Well that was a year wasn\u2019t it. A lot of ups and downs and ups and downs.<\/p>\n

We have learned that one can do too many conventions in a row. It is possible to go to Disneyland and DisneyWorld within a week of each other. <\/p>\n

We learned that we are better at building puppets and costumes than we thought we were. We learned that others appreciate our efforts.<\/p>\n

We made new friends and saw old friends. <\/p>\n

The gym was more consistent this year and how you feel is in direct correlation to that so let\u2019s keep that up.<\/p>\n

You walked through the White House and saw Pandas in three zoos along with lots of other adventures.<\/p>\n

This next year I plan to finish the novel I owe, put up a puppet website so I can sell my wares, and make some dolls which I haven\u2019t done in a couple of years.<\/p>\n

Be kind to yourself and allow a moment or two to breath. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get to 54 intact.<\/p>\n

love
\nKath<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
