Turning 50

"What do you want for your birthday, Steve?" I have asked that 30 times in the last 30 years and have always gotten the same response. "Nothing, just ignore it." Of course I never really believed him and would go all out. Not too crazy, if I had ever given him a party or a surprise party, I'm pretty sure I would have been in major trouble. But hey, when you think a guy is special you gotta treat him special once a year. So for his 50 birthday yesterday I gave the man what he has always wanted, nothing, totally ignored it. Didn't really work of course because his kids and family kept reminding him but I tried. Hardest present I've ever given. If he gives me the same thing for my birthday, he's dead. FYI, dear.

I can confirm that my best efforts to ignore this milestone in my life were thwarted, in spite of Dara's valiant attempt to support me.

I have given Steve that same gift for years though not intentionaly. Happy Birthday Steve
