43rd birthday

Celebrated my birthday today by gigging like a fiend. (Weekends, musicians, you know.) Rode a roller-coaster this afternoon, 3 times in a row, doing the kiddish thing of running straight around and getting back on. Sea World's Great White, which hangs you from the tracks, so there's nothing under you and it feels like you're flying. On the ramp-up the 2nd time, I heard a kid behind me say, "I love this world."
