Today is my birthday. I'm beyond caring about birthdays (I'm 51) but my dad, who is a non-JW married to my crazy JW mother, usually doesn't acknowledge us kids on our birthdays so as not to piss off my mom. Actually, he has never acknowledged my birthday. This evening he actually called me.
He didn't actually say happy birthday but he hem-hawed all around it. It was nice. Capped off a perfectly lovely birthday.
See, sometimes they crawl out of the Borg for a few minutes at a time.
