I made this shirt about five years ago and wear it on mybirthday. Sometimes it gets me free drinks, odd remarks or juststares. Today is the first day in about two months that I have had nothingI've had to do, or places I have to go. My time is my own. It's ablessing.

I'm about six weeks into a whirlwind eight week trip, two days back fromBurning Man, and my friend -- the toaster owner -- is at work. This timelast year I was not doing so well.This time this year I'm planning to lie on the couch, listen tomusic, read magazines, and maybe not show my t-shirt to anyone at all.

Happy Birthday to me!
