Another birthday has passed. One that carries added significance, or so people say.
It was a day off and a day of exercise. It was a day to receive greetings and thank family and friends. It was a day to think of birthday buddies.
Patty and Esther in Iowa.
Craig in St. Louis. Laura in Atlanta. Susan in Cleveland Heights. A couple others whom I forget (although if I remember, I will add their names).
And of course, Libby.
Libby Wills. Elder at Noble Road Presbyterian Church. Devoted to her God. Her family. Her church. The world. Caring. Learning. Teaching. Loving. Justice seeking Libby.
I am honored and blessed to have shared life with her for a number of years. Sharing our birthdays was a bonus.

You will notice that this playlist fails to attend to two “rules” (which are more like guidelines): it includes more than one song by the same artist and it includes covers of the same song by multiple artist … it does so because this is my birthday and I’ll play what I want to. I took the day off which is why I was able to do as much as I did.
