It’s not just Canada Day, friends and neighbors. Not just Princess Di’s birthday. No. It’s not just the first day of the second half of the year, not just the day after the day that the sovereignty of Iraq was supposed to have been handed over but wasn’t because it already had been. It’s not just the on-ramp to the July 4th weekend.
No, it’s more. It’s my birthday.
So rather than gripe about one thing or another, I’m heading out into the golden hills of Los Angeles (right there, behind the smog) to celebrate the inexorable ticking of life’s clock. Have a great evening, one and all, and hoist one for me, willya? Or two.

2Happy birthday, Adam! And two safety tips while you’re in L.A.: try not to get shot, and don’t breathe. I was there once, and I spent the whole time breathing, and it was a terrible mistake.

3Happy Birthday, Adam!
You share this birthday with my mother, who is now, as Garrison Keillor would say, in her extremely late 50’s.
(She was born in 1931.)

4Happy birthday, Adam!
You share your nativity with my husband. By far the best place to party on July 1 is Canada–all those fireworks!
It’s Dan Ackroyd’s birthday, too.

5Ah, the land of my college years! The Sierras are nice if you can get above the smog. Sunsets are nice too (because the smog makes them redder). Enjoy!

11Canada Day, yes! If there is a god(dess), please bless our wonderful neighbors to the north.
And in Vancouver, July 1 kicked off another celebration: The Toker’s Bowl.
“Oh, Cannabis! Our good (and potent) plant! True patriot love in all thy friends command…”

23Hmm, you were born on the 1st and my granddaughter was born on the 2nd. I guess that would make you older than she is.
Once again, happy birthday, I hope you can find a good place to ride your bike out there.
