48

I'm taking the easy way out on today's post: I have never been 48 years old, and now here I am--as many years old as there are contiguous United States. (Hmm. Maybe I should plan now to end up in Hawaii for my 50th. That would be fabulously appropriate!)

My niece's husband Scott expressed hope that I'd blog about something wildly awesome on my birthday. I'm afraid the day was pretty uneventful. Very nice, but uneventful. Sorry, Scott.

Although come to think of it, there was a lot of canoe swamping going on.
