Today is Jonny Smelter's 30th birthday. I think that deserves a special tributary poost or something. I mean, 30 is a big deal. It kind of alarms me that I have friends I have known since before I could read who are turning 30, and that I am approaching that dread number myself all too soon, and yet my gut reaction to Jon's 30th is one of joy. No moping- I'm happy for him, and I hope he's happy for himself. I hope he's reading this and is having a great day. I will eat a donut in his honor today.
This reminds me of the great Larry Gowan's words, "Here we're living in a golden age!" I hope the 30s are your golden age, selfsoulfriend.
