twenty one

...is better than twenty. It's only been a few hours, but I can sense that already. Casanova and Hans Christian Andersen were also born on this date. I wonder if they felt the same way?

Happy birthday to all you Aprilites x

La Femme, let us now celebrate your birthday,

Twenty plus one on all fools day plus one day past;

By this strange curiosity are we to say,

That you, La Femme, are the biggest fool at last?

Or is it with your new found maturity,

That you’ll not suffer fools so assuredly?

Today is the day of Casanova too,
That foolish cad;
Who drove suffering foolish femmes like you,
Insatiably mad.

Femme: Can't believe you're 21 already! It seems like yesterday when you were celebrating that you were a teenager no more...

Enjoy! the Twenties are amazing...

21 is much better than 20! At least it was for me, way back in the 20th C. I'm hoping that the same logic applies for 31 and 30 or (gasp!) a few decades more after that.... Use your new found powers wisely: make the transitory permanent, make style the next fundamental human right, and ok... the drive men crazy.... BB

Thanks BB.

I'm sure the same logic applies to each birthday. At least in my limited experience, every year has been more interesting than the one before.
