the really big news

So, yeah, I mean, Lucy’s *cute* and all, but somehow, the really important PSA has yet to hit cyber-space, so allow me to do the honors.

Ahem.

It’s….. BIRTHDAY MONTH!!

That’s right- it’s June, and we all know what that means. Four full weeks of festivities to celebrate the day I was born. It’s not all necessarily about me- it’s about all of creation celebrating this glorious month. Years past have included spa days, trips to the beach, hooky from work, parties, trips to Magic Mountain, and general feelings of joy and contentedness. This year will be no different, and all you folks who don’t live in California will have to invent your own fun.

Birthday Month 2005 will include after-school pool parties, trips to various pubs in San Francisco, hikes, day trips, horseback riding, and massages, all leading up to the 26th of this month when, if I’ve heard correctly, we shall all dress up as pirates for the big event. If you’ve ever considered visiting the sunshine state, now might be the time.

In other news, I worked the Napa Valley Wine Auction tonight, where we raised… wait for it… ten million dollars. Did you catch that? Ten. Million. Dollars. One lot went for $650,000.00. One lot. I’d like to point out that that one lot could fund my entire organization for three years. You are wondering, I’m sure, what percentage of that ten million will go to support the arts in Napa Valley. The arts will get exactly… wait for it… 0.0%. Yep, not one red cent, not one wee penny. The arts get a lump of coal.

And with that, I leave you to figure out how you, too, will celebrate birthday month. It only comes once a year! Don’t miss it!
