I often share my birthday with other events. Back when I used to travel and go to movie premieres and stuff like that I had some incredible birthday adventures at age 41 and 43. I’ve also had birthdays where I’ve attended the annual Father Daughter dance at Eva’s school. Last year it was cancelled completely because of the pandemic. This year we could do a virtual father Daughter Dance. We bought kits that included sparkling cider, cups, a candle, a frame and a gift card to the whisk and paddle bakery. I think the actual date was for tomorrow night but I got a very good shave and a beard trim so that I could take my new license photo today.
We started off by getting dressed up. Eva was looking quite sharp in her vest and pants. She did her hair fancy, too. We opened the sparkling cider and had a toast.
Then we put on some music on our phones and danced a round for a while in the back yard. I can only wonder what the neighbors thought of that.
I took the night off from work so that we could celebrate. We had my favorite pizza and cake. We watched a few shows on Disney + and then Allison and I watched a comedy on Netflix called Thunder Force. It was funny. Weird at parts but funny just the same. It was a very nice birthday.
