I was driving to work this morning, which takes me past Tufts…so I was enjoying the scenery, and that’s when it hit me. “Oh, fuck, it’s happened. I’ve become a dirty old man.”

I mentioned this revelation to GG and the ‘Nator in the lab. They were proud of me. Said I was past the Denial stage…and that before I knew it, I’d be through all those intermediate stages and be where they are today…embracement. “You’ll come to embrace your inner dirty old man, just like us.”

Last weekend we had a party at J.R.’s. She made a sushi cake, with my age spelled out on it in binary (if you can’t read binary, I’m not tellin’ ya how old I am ;-) ). The candles were cucumber cores with a bit of nori wrapping and red/orange roe for the “flame”. Way too many pictures here!
(And the thursday before, Father’s day cake with L* and housemates (our birthdays are a day apart).
