I don't like a fuss, but it is nice to know that people care about you. This last birthday was a huge turning point in my mind. Suddenly, I want to talk about things that matter to me and to the world. Maybe because three quarters of a century...is kind an overwhelming threshold and I get the sense that time is not unlimited.

I think 12 and 21, and 40 and 75 are huge and very changing birthdays.
