Today, February 4th, is a very interesting day. There are many important birthdays.
My step son turns 11 today. He was four when he and his sister decided that I was good enough for their Mom. I will forever be grateful to them for that kindness. On the day I first met him, Jen warned me that he would be super shy and would probably hide from me. I was ready for that. Then when we all met up outside of the Chuck-E-Cheese’s in Framingham, he strode right up to me without any hesitation and asked me if I’d like to see something he did in school that day. The little man liked me from the word go. I have no clue how I got to be so lucky. Seven years later and he still doesn’t mind me hanging around.
My nephew turns three today. I recently got my hair cut. The woman chopping my locks asked me if I had any kids, and if so did they get my red hair? I told her that I was step father to the two best kids imaginable, but that I had not passed on my glorious red head. I also told her that it was okay because my sister has the same hair and her son, who turns three today… just making sure you’re paying attention… was fortunate enough to get the same color. The red hair has been passed on to the next generation!
Facebook turns 10 today. Yup. The last nail in myspace’s coffin… The Accidental Billionaire… Millions upon millions of pictures of people’s dinner (I am as guilty as the next nerd)… it all started 10 years go today.
See? I told you February 4th was an interesting day.
